Why did you pick that school? I chose Berkeley because it had the major I wanted to do. (Berkeley's) business school is amazing.

What are you going to study? Pre-Business. At Berkeley you have to reapply to enter the business school for your junior year, so I hope to do that.

Who was your most influential high school teacher? It would have to be my history teacher, Mrs. Scheppach. She has a really unique way of teaching. No matter what, I'm never bored in that class. She really knows how to teach well and let us learn in an environment that is helpful.

What was your favorite high school subject? Economics or U.S. Government

What are you going to miss most about San Ramon when you go away to college? I think the bonds you create with others are really important...And no matter what, no one else is going to replace those bonds. I'm really going to miss the connections I've made here.

What was your favorite activity in high school? I do a lot of activities, but it's tied between Speech and Debate and Teen Council.

Have any plans after college? Everything's still up in the air, but if I had to choose one career, I'm definitely interested in being a lawyer. Hopefully I can get a business degree and then go on to law school.
