Jesse Bethel High School’s top student, a regular hospital volunteer, will attend UC Berkeley this fall — but it wasn’t always part of her plans.
“I always thought I wanted to go to Davis,” said Sukhranjan Nijjar, 18, about her initial choice of campus for the University of California system.
Nijjar’s older brother attends UC Davis, and she hoped to follow in his footsteps. Nijjar credits her brother for driving her to succeed in high school.
