Coming of Age as Caitlin


Hi, I'm Caitlin. I was born and raised in Texas and I am in my second year 
at Texas Christian University. I've never been more excited for anything 
in my life than I am to study abroad in London.



I have a twin sister named Hannah, and you cannot truly know me if you do not know that fact. Hannah is truly my best friend and has been since one cell split into two in utero. We have shaped each other throughout our lifetimes and I believe I would be a completely different person without Hannah.



I've never lived in Colorado, but I would certainly like to. My sister attends school 
at Colorado State University, and I fell in love with the state the first time I visited. 
Don't get me wrong, I am a Texas girl and take pride in that, but part of my 
heart is in the Rocky Mountains.



I love the world, and, as a result, I am a passionate environmentalist. 
I believe that humans are ruining the planet and that we
 must make changes to live greener lives so the species we share 
our home with do not suffer because of our ignorance.



A love for the environment comes with a love for animals. I have a dog 
named Lacey and a cat named Rainy (my family recently adopted 
another cat, but I haven't met it yet). Sure, I love my parents, but I'm 
most excited to go home because I miss my pets. The worst part about 
living on campus is that I cannot own a cat.



 There is one last thing I would like you to know about me: I consider myself a leader on campus. My main focus is in the National Residence Hall Honorary, where I was recently elected president. This picture is from the SWACURH Regional Leadership Conference. As an NRHH member, I attend two conferences per year: a leadership conference and a business conference. Other positions I hold on campus are: Hall Crew Team Leader for Hays Hall, Environmental Club Member, Frogs First Leader, Desk Assistant, and Bookstore Employee (I'm a cashier. Feel free to visit me).

    I too can't wait for our class to begin. And I'm looking forward to hearing more about the many leadership experiences you've had at TCU. This is a side of campus I get to glimpse too little.

Coming of Age as a Worker

Many working women of the 19th century  (including   Jane Eyre herself) felt trapped, like a caged bird. From  The Sick Room  by Emma Brownlow, photographed in the Foundling Museum Foundlings were stripped of their individuality,  put in  uniforms,  and raised to all pursue the same professions. Photographed at the Foundling Museum Poor children and orphans could only expect to become servants or soldiers, both respectable jobs which nevertheless involved hard work and little pay. Taking Leave  by Emma Brownlow, photographed at the Foundling Museum A governess may be as well educated as a women of class,but that  does  not  mean  she receives the same benefits, luxuries, or esteem as the woman of class.

Coming of Age as a Thinker and Skeptic

Fountains are important to Protestant and Catholic tradition alike, symbolizing the purity of holy water  and honoring God, as this one does in the words printed around the outside of it. Photographed at Christ Church College in Oxford Art deco style was very fashionable in the 1920s, and was the style used for the chapel in Brideshead Revisited, resulting in a collision of the ancient Catholic faith and the modern (at the time) style of London. Photograph taken at Eltham Palace dining room. Table design by Peter Malacrida. The residents of Eltham Palace had Italian-style etchings of other cultures on their walls, suggesting a fascination with those unlike themselves and, perhaps, their 'backward' ways and religions. Photographed at Eltham Palace drawing room. ' Where medieval meets Tudor style, representing a change in eras and,  therefore, a change in beliefs from Catholic to Protestant. Photographed at Eltham Palace. Though most likely Pr...
