Outside of my needing a scholarship to afford to go to school there, no-one treated me any different than the students whose parents had million dollar homes, and the salaries to match. <br /><br />If I would have stayed on there, yes, there would have been more opportunities available as the student/teacher/counselor/etc ratio is far far lower than the RUSD. Because of that, it's harder for RUSD students to recieve the help needed to gain admittance to the higher levels of education. <br /><br />Has nothing to do with the cost of the schools, more with how much the schools had access to help the kids out. Even as the son of a Unified employee, I was not given preferential treatment in the RUSD either. But the District just can't handle the needs of graduating seniors in their post-HS life because there are just too many kids and not enough funding to allow for more assistance.The Antiwesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802851022518519713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-1622983152867202362010-01-13T08:01:16.015-06:002010-01-13T08:01:16.015-06:00I hope no one is crticizing anon 7:45 (me) - I thi...I hope no one is crticizing anon 7:45 (me) - I think this is a great story and I wish this talented, intelligent young person the best!

At college, I've had a chance to use nice equipment because I work in the media center. My father is a family doctor and my mother is a Presbyterian minister, and they didn't even know I was doing this interview. <br /><br />If any kids (at any school) would like to learn more about filmmaking, I would love to talk to them! It's all about hard work and having a passion for what you do. I still have a lot to learn.Kat Clarkhttp://www.katclark.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-76298708028725401432010-01-11T15:56:07.356-06:002010-01-11T15:56:07.356-06:00The following comments are not an attack on a fine...The following comments are not an attack on a fine young lady and her achievements. Even so, my friends wonder if Carnauba cash and clout helped her to launch her career.
