Bella Sheakley - Class of 2020

Which College, Program, or Job did you start after graduating? I went to the University of San Francisco where I am currently studying Psychology and Criminal Justice.

How has life after high school been different than you imagined? It's so much more expensive than I thought! I underestimated how much it costs to live as an adult.

Where do you see yourself or what do you see yourself doing in 2 years? Two years from now I will be a college graduate and hopefully I will be accepted into a really good masters program!
