Hello, my name is Jeremy Mangin and I am a tenth grader at Vista Murrieta high school. I live in Murrieta, a city of about 60,000 people in Southern California . It is a very centralized city, about an hour away from both Los Angeles and San Diego , and about an hour or two away from the beach or the mountains.

I was on the Vista Cross Country team last semester, and am now on the Vista Track team. I am on the distance section of track, and we practice Monday through Friday, from about 2:40 to 4:30 . I don't play any instrument, though I want to play the drums. As a sophomore in high school, I am taking: Driver's Education first semester and Computers I second semester, Modern World History, Chemistry, Advanced Algebra II, Spanish II, Body Composition, and Advanced English II.

Last year, as a freshman, I took: Computers/Careers and Health, Geometry, Advanced English I, Spanish I, CP Biology, Avid/9 and Graphic Design I. I got nearly all A's and B's in these classes, with the exception of one C. I plan to be on the Cross Country team all four years of high school as well as the track team every year. My goal is to go to college at UC Davis, or if not that another UC school. My ultimate goal is to become a veterinarian.
