I taught it'd be cool if we all learned about eachother.


I go to Coral Springs High, the typical suburban high school in Coral Springs, Fl next to Ft. Lauderdale. My prospective college is Columbia University. I have no idea how I ended up in the middle of suburbia. Dad's family grew up in the Bronx,Ny. My dad got a really great education there for free from Leman Colege(City College of NYC). He was taught by Nobel Lauriates and a secretary of state and CCNY still holds the position for most nobel lauriates teaching at a public college. Ha Berkley!!! If my dad was 10 years older he'd go to school with Colin Powell. That's cool cause I truly respect him. Grandpa got full scholarship to Columbia and his Bro got doctorate at Georgetown and taught at VMI.

I think it'd be really interseting to learn about you guys.

I go to Hamilton Central in Hamilton, NY, and have been going there since I was 5, since it's a K-12 school. My prospective colleges are Brown, Northwestern, Haverford, Swarthmore, Grinnell, and Case Western. And if I don't get into any of them, then I'll take a road trip to Oregon where it's legal to be euthanized. Heh, not really. But I just found out about legal assisted suicide in Oregon today, and thought it was really cool.

I'm a homeschooled chick in CA. The schools here = sux0rz and everything. long story. they're revenovating and suffering from budgets etc. I haven't been thinking obsessively about what colleges, but berkeley, stanford, nyu, and yale have caught my eye. :]

I go to public h.s. in Lexington MA; my parents chose the suburb over others in MA to move to when I was in 4th grade for the "good school system" and for that I am very grateful as I have met many wonderful people whom i can't love enough, school continues to one-up me to my pleasure and I actually like it here despite my heart still lying in the Midwest. I am only a sophomore and my aspirations change every week, like the other day I wanted to go to Oxford and last month I wanted to skip college and be a truck driver. All of these dreams however involve heavy immersion in the Classics believe it or not, but anyway I suppose I am officially "considering" harvard (hahahaha), university of Chicago (er but I hate their application it is quite generic despite assertions to the contrary except for the essays and you cannot send a foreign language recommendation), Swarthmore, bryn mawr, and the University of Cincinnati.

By Songbird88 (Songbird88) on Thursday, September 30, 2004 - 03:48 pm: Edit

Yeah, I'm in Scence and Tech. No, it's not that hard, but RP (which is Research Practicum) senior year (which I will have), will be REALLY hard and stressful. You have to take a lot of science classes, which is annoying because I don't want to be a doctor.

P.S. Jer728- PG may suck, but ERHS is a good school. Montgomery County kids...Geez.

TechieDork, Holton Arms is freakin gigantic! I just came from SAT Prep there and had to park in some lower lot which forced me to walk through like 4 buildings just to get back to the main theater. Good times.

Ohhhhhhh geez you freaked me out, I took "one of my closest friends" as an appositive and therefore you as a stalker or something hoho, well I'll be nice to everyone I know so they don't call you and tell.
