After all the hours of studying and preparing for private school admittance, I was thrilled to be accepted to Pacifica.

The preparation process was difficult and stressful, though we had some of the greatest teachers  helping us through it!  Tutoring was the best part of the whole process. Mr. Olivas made math tutoring fun. We would have math torturing in the morning. He would help us understand things we didn’t and he taught us many new mathematical concepts. English tutoring was especially fun.

Mr. Hill helped us memorize vocabulary words and had us read amazing books by outstanding authors. We read King Lear which was really fun because we were all assigned our own characters to read. In the past I would have never imagined that I would be reading and actually understanding Shakespeare.

The most challenging part was preparing for and the actual interview process. Before every interview I was really nervous, but during the actual interview the pressure just melted away. After the first couple of interviews it became easier because I knew which questions to expect. The preparation we did before the interviews helped as well!

When the acceptance letters from the schools arrived, I was thrilled opening up the packet from Pacifica. While opening the packet,  little glittery stars fell out.  It was cute and something I didn't expect. It was exciting. Getting into Pacifica was life changing; looking through the packet was astonishing. I cant wait to start Pacifica next year!
