I went grade school, high school, and went to a catholic hospital for my x-ray license.

3. First grade through 10th grade here...
then my family moved from California to Colorado, and I went to public school for my junior and senior year. Ah, sweet freedom!

4. Eighth grade through high school
Two of our public middle schools merged and it was chaos, so my mom declared she was putting me in the local Catholic school. She thought I'd put up a fight--hah! I was glad to don the plaid. All-girl high school was awful, though.

My aunt, whom I refer to as a "fundamentalist Catholic", wants to know where my "religion" went--she figured I would be more devout, if not a nun, by the time I finished total immersion in Catholicism in my "formative" years. Little did she know that was what drove me away from the Catholic faith!

"Shut up and just have faith" declarations aside, though, I got the best education in the city--I will grant them that.

5. All 12 years!
Here in San Francisco, first Immaculate Conception grade school (boys and girls) and then in to Immaculate Conception Academy (all girls). I had Dominicans sisters teaching me and Franciscan Frs. for mass.

12 years of Catholic school made me what I am today: a screaming Democratic Socialist....they done good. :D

8. I did. St. Bingo
Lol, kidding.

I went from 6th to 8th. I got beat on more in those 3 years from the teachers than the rest of my school years combined. I couldn't wait to get back to public school. Most of my friends went off to Catholic High schools and in those days they weren't coed. I was like, "fuck that, I need women"..lol.

13. Kindergarten through high school
The nuns wanted me to go to a Catholic college and I absolutely refused. I wanted to see and experience the world outside of the narrow Catholic ghetto I had grown up in.

15. I went my first grade year.
My sister went from K-9. Then tuition was being charged. My step mother said "No way am I paying tuition for school." We then went to public school: my sister grades 10-12. Me, grades 2-12.
