This year, North Caldwell’s Caine said. “My yearbook senior quote was ‘Reach for the moon, own Isabelle Caine was named the salutatorian of West Essex even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.’ I love this quote High School Class of 2016. She had a 4.699 GPA, and will be at- because it really sums up the way I’ve attempted to live my life and tending Cornell University. is true regardless of what goal you are trying to achieve.”
Caine knew she wanted to attend Cornell from the minute she stepped foot on the campus. “Cornell has a beautiful campus with a mix of old and new architecture, and breathtaking scenery... waterfalls, and gorges, and mountain tops in every direction. I also fell in love with their “Any Person, Any Study” philosophy and how interested Cornell is to have their students well rounded,” Caine said. “All of that aside, I think the main reason I picked Cornell is the same reason each of my classmates picked their schools, that intangible feeling of being on a campus that feels like home and knowing you will fit in and thrive.”
Going to a school that is the right fit for her was a huge motivat- ing factor in her academic career, but far from the only one. “I love to learn and school has always been extremely important to me,” Caine said.
Caine’s success has been well-earned, as she has worked hard throughout her entire life. Between being a varsity tennis player and studying her way to the top of her class, it is difficult to find time to juggle both tennis and school. However, Caine manages this by concentrating specifically on what is important at the photo by John Paul Endress moment.
While salutatorian is an individual accomplishment that Caine Picture Perfect Smile achieved through her own hard work, she believes she “could not Comprehensive Dental Care have survived and succeeded in high school without huge support 973-256-2222 from my supporting family, inspiring teachers, mentoring guidance counselor and genius classmates and friends.”
Every valedictorian or salutatorian is a role model for younger stu- dents in the classroom, but Caine does her best to be a role model both in the classroom and in life. “In my opinion nobody should set out to become valedictorian or salutatorian,” Caine said. “Instead of aspiring to have the highest grade point average in one's class, Dr.Shahmehdi my advice is to use high school to figure out who you are and what Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry interests you. Push yourself to be the best YOU whether that be as a student, musician, athlete, artist or anything else. “ Dr. Sperling Pediatric (Children's Dental) For other students entering college, Caine urges to not simply fo- cus on academics. While it is obviously important to study hard, Invisalign and Orthodontics do well, and prepare yourself for a career, Caine also wants “to push myself to explore beyond academics.
