...at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Chicago. If you had told me at age 15 that one day I'd be a graduate student at the University of Chicago, I probably wouldn't have believed you, because for most of my childhood and teenage years I hated school, even though I was often described as a "promising" student. Everything changed for me when I took an AP History course my junior year:...
