🎓Our Senior Highlight today is Lucia L!

I initially wanted to come to Inspire for the art classes offered and the small class sizes, but I stayed for the interdisciplinary approaches to learning that were part of many of my classes.

Throughout my time here, I have cultivated a passion for both science and humanities, and my future plans reflect that. I was accepted into the College of Letters & Sciences at UC Berkeley, where I intend to major in Integrative Biology and Chicanx/Latinx Studies.

I would love to thank the social studies department. Mojica, DLT, and North have helped me feel more confident, especially in my academic abilities, and will likely remain some of my favorite teachers. Additionally, I would like to thank Kelley (favorite English teacher ever! Amazing feedback on every essay, engaging class!), Peek (inspired me to continue with science into my future), and Isern (I couldn’t have asked for a better advisor).
