Caitlin is currently saving to study further next year and will use her R10 000 winnings to supplement her study fund. She is currently considering enrolling for an honours degree in civil engineering at the University of Pretoria. Caitlin was extremely excited when she heard that she had won the competition and says she could not sit still. “I wanted to tell everybody!” She also extends her thanks to her hydraulics lecturer, Marco van Dijk, for informing her class about the competition and encouraging them to enter. “If it were not for him, I would not have entered and won,” she says.
