It was during and after my undergraduate work. I was rather advanced. The youngest instructor the school ever had to that point. I was initially a pre-med student., graduated was accepted to the med school and changed my mind at the last moment. My parents didn't talk to me for three years.<g> When I started to go to law school, they disowned me....<VBG>

It is not common at all to come from the sciences. I just happened to be particularly gifted in both science and humanities. I won the President's Associates Award at my university, given to only one student school wide, on a campus of 35,000. I had a 4.0 in my major, and had served as a student representative to the Math Science Alumni Committee, and I was a board member of the ASB,and I was a campus Ambassador, and President of the Biology Students Association, and Co-Chairman of the Math Science and Engineering inter-Club council, and I worked for the biology department in both research and teaching capacities, etc. The list goes on. That and a score in the 99th percentile on my LSAT got me into Berkeley. And anywhere else I wanted to go. I also had offers to pursue a PhD in plant pathology. I've been lucky in that I can do anything I want to do. It's a great gift to have.
