In the future, Breitenstein plans on attending a four-year college on the East Coast, where she hopes to major in nursing or psychology, with a possible concentration in Spanish or journalism. Hoping to end her final year at SHS on a high note, she is ready to take on her classes and all the exciting events that come with being a senior.
