Recently in December Mr.Prucha visited U.C Berkeley to take his class to a lecture and experience a little of how U.C Berkeley is. Mr. Prucha took his class there to take notes, observe and reflect on their experiences. Mr. Prucha attended U.C Berkeley and now his son and daughters all attend U.C Berkeley. Some of his favorite things about the university are how its close to home, the teachers great advice, exciting varsity games and being able to wear the colors of gold and blue. If Mr. Prucha could describe U.C Berkeley in one word he would choose opportunity, which best describes how important attending U.C Berkeley could be.
