Former Jonathan Law graduate Paige Jolley is a freshman at Gateway Community College and is studying for a degree in Entrepreneurship. 

Jolley was very active in her four years at Jonathan Law, playing varsity volleyball, basketball and softball. She has had to transition her life and mindset from going to school and going straight to sports, to the new college life. 

“My mindset has really changed in many ways actually, I used to get like 3 hours of exercise a day because of sports but now it’s up to me to stay active,” Jolley said. 

Jolley’s average day isn’t too bad and is able to be flexible with her plans after class.

“My average day I wake up around 6 a.m. and I go to babysit which I’m usually done around 8:30 a.m.,” Jolley said. “Then I’ll try to go to the gym if I can, then to class around noon.”

She said she still tries to make it to volleyball games as a past alum. She also plans to do the same in the spring with softball.

“I think a piece of advice I’d give to anyone in high school is enjoy the sports while it lasts because I didn’t think I’d miss it as much as I do,” Jolley said. 

Jolley emphasized on how important it is to soak in high school sports and the entire high school experience before its gone. 

“Jonathan Law prepped me by giving me a foundation of knowledge, organization, time management, and critical thinking skills,” Jolley said.

Life after high school has forced Jolley to prioritize certain aspects of her life.

“I try to prioritize my health and I’m doing a lot of work and setting up plans to get into dog training so I can start a business with that,” Jolley said.
