Jacquelyn Broader has her life all planned out -- through retirement: She wants to attend Harvard University and start writing children's fiction books, move on to Yale University to study veterinary science, travel while practicing her medical career and then retire to finish her book series and write for a newspaper.
Her ambitious goals come from staying active in school and community activities.
"I like working hard," she said.
Among her accomplishments, Jacquelyn takes great pride in her sportsmanship recognition in basketball, an award for 50 hours of community service and earning a school "Block RB," which signifies her success in academics, athletics and other school activities.
"Red Bluff has done a lot for me, so I want to do as much as I can for Red Bluff," she said.

"Her academic achievement, passion for reading, desire to be involved in school and community activities, as well as her enthusiasm to help anyone in need, take her way beyond her 11 years," she said.
Jacquelyn, who was a Bee Academic All-Star honorable mention last year, credits her parents and friends for her achievements.
"I know a lot of attention is coming to me, but I also know a lot of it comes because of my parents and because of my friends who motivate me," she said.
