I am currently a rising junior at TJ and went to Rocky Run Middle School. Many people from my middle school tried out for and got accepted to TJ, some forced by parents. Originally, I was one of those people. I was not planning on applying to TJ or going into a STEM field, but my parents said I would regret it if I didn’t try. Surprisingly, I got accepted and decided to give TJ a chance. I quickly fell in love with STEM, and I wouldn’t want to go to any other school.
