Public School, think it's pretty good...we have 3000 students, and this year we have at least 2 kids accepted to Stanford, 1 going to Harvard, 5-10ish going to Berkeley, many others going to assorted UC's
Career Aspirations: very unsure...top choice right now is a doctor, but I don't think I want to major in science (although I do really like biology)...I love love love learning in general, but I'm particularly interested in the social sciences and will probably major in International Relations, Political Science, Public Policy, or something similar</p>
