Kayleigh Quinn
Kayleigh Quinn is an 18-year-old student from Meath, Ireland, who is preparing for her Leaving Cert exams despite having left school in her second year. She faced significant challenges during her early education, particularly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which hindered her ability to connect with peers and left her feeling disillusioned with traditional schooling. After successfully sitting her Junior Cycle exams as an external student, she regained confidence and decided to pursue medicine. Kayleigh has adapted her learning methods, utilizing online resources, and has applied to colleges in both Ireland and the UK, aiming for high points to secure a place in medical school.
