[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through the FCPS system. As a[b] first gen immigrant family, [/b]my parents did not know the ins/outs of the AAP/GT system. I went to my local public school. In middle school I took advantage of the opportunity to take language early and Algebra. It wasn't until 9th grade when my World History teacher noticed my abilities and recommended that I started taking more advanced classes. Senior year I took all AP classes, got a 1410 on my SATs and was admitted to William and Mary undergrad and Georgetown for grad school. I blossomed at my own time. My experience has been that self-motivation and grit is a far more indicator of success than ability. Your child does not need AAP or TJ to get into a top school. [/quote] Doesn't this describe a large portion of TJ?[/quote]
