When I began going to school, I started off at a Catholic school. In fifth grade, I was given the choice to stay in Catholic school or go to a public school.

I think my parents gave us, my sisters and me, the option for public school because they wanted us to go to a public high school and they figured it would be easier to make friends in middle school than in high school.
