- Reviewed by Former Student on July 25, 2008
- Rating:
(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I was very shy when I was at SHS. Then I discovered I was a late bloomer. I started dating when I left and attended UC Berkeley. At first it was awkward, but it became pleasant. I had many different experiences, education, and met many people. I currently live in S. San Jose, my profession is psychotherapist and licensed marriage, family therapist, and a single mother of two children, aged 13 and 11. Although my life can be better, I am very happy at the moment.
