Cailtin enjoys learning so much that after finishing sixth grade, she went to Florida with her science teacher, Mrs. Marchese, and several other students and their parents. They went on all kinds of field trips.

After the hard work is done, Cailtin often heads to the soccer field. She has been playing soccer for the last eight years and has been lucky enough to call her dad her coach, too. Making goals in soccer is a highlight for Caitlin.

Cailtin has been a Girl Scout since elementary school, and she continues to earn merit badges as an eighth grader.

Future plans and inspirations: Cailtin will go to next year.

As for college plans, she says she really wants to go to UC Davis and major in criminal justice. With her drive and tenacity, she’ll get there.
