Her interest in math motivated her to attend UI Urbana-Champaign\u2019s math program.<\/p>\n<p>Song was also accepted to the Pennsylvania State University, Ohio State University, University of California Davis, and the University of Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose UI because it is one of the universities that isn\u2019t too liberal; I don\u2019t like to party. It is also traditional and the mathematics program there is very good. I also like to study there because I like snow,\u201d said Song when asked why she chose UI over the other universities. <\/p>\n<p>Song plans to finish her mathematics degree before pursuing a degree in business, particularly in finance, or other business related degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Feng is headed for Pensacola Christian College in Florida, where she plans to pursue a nursing degree.<\/p>\n<p>ACS\u2019 senior Class of 2017 consists of 19 graduates. Fourteen of he 19 graduates are all headed for Pensacola.<\/p>\n<p>ACS\u2019s middle school valedictorian for class 2017 is Frederic Guintu, while Tychicus Xu is the salutatorian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Agape Christian School\u2019s senior graduation for the Class of 2017 on Monday recognized Claire&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":252941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1285,16923,56,16924],"class_list":["post-252933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-acs","tag-andrea-feng","tag-business-3","tag-frederic-guintu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
