Texas high school student Meadow Quigley hopes to start her own business one day. She’s already practicing plumbing at the age of 15—and recently saved the day after water pipes in her home burst during the unseasonably harsh winter storms hitting Texas.

The family’s plumbing disaster struck on Feb. 15, but Meadow knew what to do. She’s currently a sophomore at Construction Careers Academy in San Antonio, studying plumbing, pipefitting, and welding. She’s one of few girls in the entire school, and the only girl in her class.
