Profile Information
- What kind of member are you?
- Expert Parent
- High School Education (Name of School, Graduation Year)
- Santa Clara University, 2006, Political Science
- Are you or your siblings the first in your family to attend college?
- Yes
- What are the biggest challenges you faced or are facing as a high school student? How did you overcome those obstacles?
- The greatest challenge I had in high school was adapting to a new school, a new country, and speaking a different language than my own. I moved to San Jose with my family when I was 16 and right away started Junior year. It was probably one of the most difficult experiences of my life. The first few months were terrible, but little by little I began to adapt to my new environment. I was very fortunate to have been welcomed by students and faculty of my high school. Though I only spent 2 years in high school, I really had a great experience for which I am grateful.
- What are your educational goals? What are you doing to reach those goals?
- At this point, I wish to attain a post graduate degree connected to education. I am debating whether to seek a masters in counseling, administration, or bilingual education.
- What advice would you give others to be successful in high school and college?
- 1. Work hard and stay focused in school.
2. Have a good relationship with your teachers and mentors.
3. Get involved in activities outside of the classroom. Sports, cultural clubs,
service organizations, etc.
4. Sleep!
5. Do not procrastinate, it can become a nasty habit.
6. Get an internship.
7. Attend school dances, sport and cultural events, and other activities.
Enjoy high school and college!
8. Study for the SATs, ACTs, GREs, and all other required standardized
testing.
9. Join study groups. If organized properly, they are quite effective.
10. Meet with your advisor/counselor often. Ask lots of questions, they are
there to help you.
- Who has helped you to achieve success throughout your school career?
- My parents have been a great inspiration and I wouldn't have reached the place I am now without them. I had many teachers and mentors along the way that believed in me and provided advice, encouragement, and support.
- What are your interests and hobbies? What do you like to do for fun? (Select all that apply)
- Exercise, History, Music, Reading, Sleeping, Sports, Traveling

This is so true! Procrastination or ditching class can be an issue for high school and college students alike. Do you have a more specific magic formula to avoid it Thompson?

Hi friends!
I hope you are enjoying the last few days of your break and of the year 2010! I want to share with you what I consider my most memorable winter break when I was in college. By the end of my sophomore year, I was certain that I wanted to study abroad in Chile for a whole year. I was a Political Science major with an emphasis in Latin American studies, so it seemed like the perfect fit. So in August of 2004, I took a 10 hour flight from SFO to the city of Santiago,…

Hi friends!
One of the toughest challenges that high school and college students encounter is to find the right balance between school work, activities outside school, social life, and family time.
Many students feel pressured to get involved in too many activities, take a heavy load of AP classes or even a combination of both. Though some people are perfectly capable of coping with such a tight schedule, most often than not, this leads to stress, sleep deprivation, anxiety,… Continue

I got the email about the post-program assessment dates. Thank you so much for sending it in early - it was unexpected but extremely welcome! I've booked my flight out for late in the evening of August 3 (moved it two days earlier). I'm excited to help you guys out compiling the data on the effectiveness of the program. So far I've really enjoyed working in my site, and I love learning from the teachers, TAs, and of course the students! Hope you and everyone back there at HQ is well.
Best,Isabel
