  • QUOTE: "I love going to a small school setting where you get individual attention and can learn more. I want to go to a small college, too. I had always attended Beverly Hills public schools before, and you're just a number there. When you like your teachers, you do better. There aren't a lot of distractions, like at Beverly High, where there were a lot of people and too many things going on."
