Hello, my name is Grace Farrelly, I'm 20, and I am the 2024 Cavan Rose.
I am currently studying Sociology and English in Maynooth University, hoping to go on and become a secondary school teacher. I also work in Cavan General Hospital at the weekends when I'm home from college and during the holidays. My hobbies include singing, travelling, reading, and cooking. I have two brothers, Andrew and Leon, and I am the middle child.
My ambition in life is to see as much of the world as I can, while I can! I hope to pursue a career in teaching, as I have a passion for English and would like to share my passion with children to help them develop a love for it like I did with the help of my brilliant teachers when I was in school. I love to read and have a particular love for poetry with some of my favourite poets being Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath, and Emily Dickinson.
I am so honoured to represent the great county of Cavan in this wonderful competition, and I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity.
