For context, I went to a fairly academic focused high school in Richmond (but not Richmond High). Did alright for myself in uni and landed big tech internships and full time work after.
I agree with most of what's said here. Being close with a few people who came out of CHS/VC... some thoughts they've shared
- Some say they wouldn't have been as academically motivated had they not been at a private school and around peers who were trying their best
- There are defs some who are still trying to find their direction in uni and adulthood
- Those with good drive and values are able to achieve some things that I can't; the people around them and in their network can help them achieve more >> here's where I think growing up around parents who are leading by example and modelling values is so so important.
