Byline: JAKE KLONOSKI For The Register-Guard

WHEN I LEFT OREGON four years ago to attend the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., I worried about how my education would stack up against the schooling received by Eastern prep school graduates. I found that with the tools my wonderful teachers in Eugene had given me, I could compete without fear of any feelings of inequity.

Excellence was the key throughout my education in Eugene - at Fox Hollow French immersion school, Roosevelt and O'Hara middle schools, and then South Eugene High School. The teaching and the teachers were superb. No one could have been better prepared for college than this 1998 graduate of the South Eugene International High School.

My worries...
