Catherine can talk about nearly anything, and is an expert at finding a very interesting tangent to discuss. She loves to say ?Can I tell you something?? You always learn something new when you talk to Catherine! Catherine is a huge ?Twilight? fan ? books and movies. She's very into vampires, werewolves and magic. She enjoys reading young adult fiction series like the Legend Trilogy and Divergent. Catherine also likes lifting weights, exercising and just being in the sun and in the water. She says swimming is not required, just being in the water is ?relaxing.? She likes building with any materials: Legos, clay ? you name it! She also likes Chess because of "the strategy.? Catherine does very well in school and loves to put her intellect to good use! She has a very impressive vocabulary and enjoys science. She likes to come up with her own scientific theories. Catherine gets into new ideas deeply for a short period of time. She recently started translating a book from Spanish to English which was difficult, as she does not know Spanish. She had her dictionaries out and worked hard at this! She loves learning. Catherine is looking for a family with two parents who live in a rural or suburban area. She's looking for a family who accepts her for who she is and can help her on the journey to grow and understand herself.
