17.It would have been a success story if Fullerton High School senior Fernando Rojas,the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade,was accepted to college.But the 17-vear-o1d achieved a surprising clean sweep-he was accepted to every Ivy League (常春藤)schoo1."I am so lucky,"Roias told The Orange County Register on Saturday."When I got all eight,it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose.I was excited and scared and everything at the same time."
The first call came from Yale University in February.Within weeks calls,emails and letters followed from the other seven universities.Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools,the University of California,Irvine,and California State University,Fullerton.
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas,59,and wife,Mafia,56,who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco,Mexico,in the early 1980s.
A national speech and debate champion,Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools,he might get into one.Sal Tinajero,Rojas'speech and debate coach at Fullerton,told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives(茁壮成长) on competition."His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something,"Tinajero said.
After visiting several campuses,he settled on Yale,which costs 64,000ayearwithroomandboard.Heisresponsiblefor6,000;Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.
He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August.He's considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.
