<p>Other
I'm a sun-loving female from New York. I enjoy vacationing to Nicaragua, which is where my roots developed. Both of my parents work full time and I fall under the 50k-100k income range. I plan on pursuing science and English in college, and maybe French if I have the time. My grandfather attended Princeton and my mother attended Princeton, as well. My father attended Tufts and his parents didn't go to college. </p>
