Growing up in Poolesville, Maryland,
Katelyn Keese spent much of her early teen years dreaming of going to college.
She loved and enjoyed every stage of her education but was always mature beyond
her years. When she was young, an older cousin was accepted to the University of South Carolina and her whole family
packed up to visit her. Young Katelyn Keese was thrilled by the beautiful
campus and the energy of the thousands of young people milling about. She never
forgot the feeling of that campus when she began her own search for colleges.
Katelyn Keese could have really gone
anywhere. Her grades were amazing and the list of extra-curricular activities
on her college application was impressive. She was the all-American girl that
turned everything she touched into gold. She applied to colleges all over the
country as she has a thirst for adventure and exploration. She wanted to leave
her small town and discover something new. When the acceptance letter came in
the mail from University
of South Carolina,
Katelyn Keese could not ignore the utter excitement she felt. She decided right
then and there that she was definitely meant to have her college experience in
this place that struck her so many years prior.
Her parents were happy because she would be
on the same coast as them and it would not be too difficult to get her to come
home occasionally. Katelyn Keese began voraciously researching the history of
the school and of what she could expect out of life in the southern state. It
all seemed to fit with her personality just fine. There were tons of
organizations, clubs, sports and opportunities awaiting her on the historic
campus. Katelyn Keese loved warm weather, golf and beaches so she looked
forward to spending her down-time on the South
Carolina coast.
