Kitwanie Carbon to represent Dominica at Tourism Youth Congress

Carbon

The State of the Tourism Industry Conference in St. Martin will see the return of the CTO Tourism Youth Congress. On Saturday 17 September, top secondary school students from participating CTO member countries will debate critical tourism issues in a stimulating session that is sure to excite, educate and entertain.

The “Junior Ministers of Tourism” who will share their ideas and vision with respect to future directions for Caribbean tourism.

Kitwanie Carbon is to represent Dominica.

Born on January 22nd 1996 to Swanston and Corinthia Carbon, Kitwanie attended the Convent Preparatory School, then the Convent High School.

She is presently a fifth form student who plans to obtain ones at the CXC Caribbean Secondary Education (CSEC) examinations in 2012, namely in Biology, Geography, History and Physics being her most preferred.

Kitwanie believes these subjects among others will pave the way to achieving her future aspirations of becoming a forensic anthropologist and archaeologist.

In addition she is a student of the Purple Dragon Don Jitsu Ryu System, Dominica branch as well as a grade four flautist at the Henkell Muriel Music Studio.  Kitwanie embraces every opportunity to partake in adventure and exploring. She especially enjoys hiking, swimming and hopes someday to take on other exciting endeavours such as skydiving and mountain climbing.

Kitwanie considers herself an innovative thinker and believes that the best results are obtained when people work together to achieve them with determination and endurance.

It is for this reason her life’s motto is a quote by William Shakespeare – “The heights of great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they whilst their companions slept kept toiling upwards in the night”.

    Good for you little Miss Carbon.

    As ole ppl would say Z’enfant pas demi bouteille es pal….see how dat chile pohfitay! I remember her small in their store.

    Love how her parents are striking the right balance – occupied with extra-curricular activities and still able to excel academically. An idle mind is the devil’s workshop; so, kudos to Mr. & Mrs. Carbon.
