Eliza Parks is a high school senior. She gets good grades, is president of the senior class, and writes for the school newspaper. As a junior, she received her school’s top prizes in English and history, and was selected to represent the school at a statewide speech contest. Not surprisingly, Eliza has been accepted at Yale University next year, where she has been awarded a scholarship. Even with all her extracurricular activities and academic commitments, Eliza makes time to be with her brother and her parents. Whenever possible, they eat dinner as a family, and often take trips together on weekends. Eliza also has a strong network of friends who her parents know well."I talk with my parents very freely about my friends, my life, whatever,"she says.
