Dream: What courses do you take?
Alyssa: I take economics as my course selection, last year i took biomedical science
and next year i'm doing engineering
Dream: Are any of those classes mostly guys?
Alyssa: Yes, well, it depends on what you take..more girls are in like the medicine
pathway but there’s far more guys in business and engineering / computer science
from what I’ve seen
Dream: And how do you feel in those classes where there's far more guys in?
Alyssa: It depends what class it is, because  an honors or AP class will have much
more mature guys that you feel comfortable working with. Academy boys at my school
genuinely make me uncomfortable with the stuff they say and how they act Inside and
outside of a classroom
Dream: Has any of the guys harassed you?
Alyssa: I’ve had a guy grab my arm and like stroke it. I’ve had guys make fun of me
after giving an argument in a class (when the argument was assigned). The argument
was about women being harassed, which him doing that luckily proved my point.
Dream: Did anyone ever question your course choices because "it's not for women"?

Alyssa: I’ve only had my dad tell me I need to practice cooking and cleaning, No ones
never told me to not peruse something because i'm a women, it was like encouraged in
my family to do something that’s a “mans job”
Dream: Why did you choose those courses?
Alyssa: .I wanted to be a pediatrician originally so choose Biomed. I wanted another AP
class and wanted to challenge myself. I want to do Aerospace engineering
