*Peter Le is a Senior at DSST: Green Valley Ranch High School. Before he departs on his journey to college, we asked him a few things about his time at DSST and his post-grad plans. Here's what he had to say...*

**Where are your plans for next year?**

"I’ll be going to the University of Colorado Denver next year. I’m on the pre-med track and I’ll be majoring in Biology. I could major in anything, but I chose Biology because I really loved the class in high school and I want to further learn about the word around me. I really love science."

**How and why did you end up choosing that path?**

"I got accepted into this super cool program called the BA/BS – MD program. I had to go through an application process. After I passed the application part, I had to do two interviews. Initially, I was afraid of the interviews, because it was the first time I had ever done them, but I had practice with Ms. Kalin and other members of the home office, and they said I would do great and so I just trusted their words, and here I am now part of the program! I’m also really excited to be in this program, as it provides a lot for my future."

**How has DSST pushed you to grow over the last four years? **

"Personally, I’ve always been academically strong, but coming into DSST I was not as strong when it comes to understanding social issues. I think DSST has pushed me to be more socially competent and to work hard to understand different perspectives. I was oblivious to many issues in our nation, but DSST has worked hard to inform and educate its students and current events and how they impact us as a community. Thanks to them I’ve become more aware of social issues within our nation and have become more involved in my community."

**Why are you proud of yourself?**

"I feel proud of myself, because I don’t regret anything. Senior year I’ve heard a lot of people saying they wished they’ve could done the things they loved, or they regret not putting in 100%. But I can’t say that. I can genuinely say that if I were to go back and do high school over again, I wouldn’t change anything. I got involved in all the things I wanted to do: Track, Cross Country, Theatre, KDance, Student Senate, Prom Committee, ESHIP, Asian Student Alliance, ect. I put 110% in everything I did, and I’ve gain newfound perspectives and skills from all of it. I’ve done everything I could and everything I wanted to for my high school career, and that is what makes me proud."

**What's your funniest memory from DSST?**

"Darn this is a hard question. There are just too many to count. I always have a giant laugh in my E-SHIP class. It’s never boring in that class."

**Where do you see yourself in 5 years?**

"In five years, I see myself as a graduate student at CU'sAnschutz Medical Campus. Hopefully I’ve made a great friend group that I can go out with and study with. But I also want to have strengthened my resolve as to why I want to become a doctor, so that I will never waver whenever someone asks me why."
