Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007.[21]

She came in second in the Microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans.[22]

In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[23][24]

In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session.

She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[25]

In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[26][27]

During college, she served as an intern in the immigration office during the final year of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy's tenure.[28] "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid—a 19-, 20-year-old kid—whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."[28]

She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.[25][29][30]

When her father died intestate in 2008,[31] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy."[32]

Anytime you promote free everything without any incentives to work, ir being productive and developing some American grit it’s going to be attractive to many.
Everyone knows someone who likes to chum and be part of the party but never contributes as they just spent their dollar. This people are always the ones that are real chatty and extroverted too. Always looking to free load.
Nothing wrong with working or volunteering and being productive. It does take some effort to.

She's not telling people they don't have to work. She's telling people they have a right to health care. You can't restrict health care to only the wealthy.
Also, a minimum wage is not saying people don't have to work, it's just saying that they don't have to work 12 hours a day to afford food, rent, medicine.
Now, some people cannot work. You've got single mothers with infant children, mentally handicapped, medically handicapped and so on. What about the vagrants and others living on the streets? How about the drug addicts?
And no, I don't know anyone who prefers to 'chum' over working. I'm sure they're out there but I'll bet there aren't as many as you think.

I realize we need some social assistance but it has to be for those that actually need it.
And from the interviews I saw form recent conferences she's attended, she is promoting democratic socialism.

I'm sorry, but that's not socialism which prohibits the private ownership of business. The Russians, Cubans and the Chinese probably came closest. Not sure about Venezuela but it's probably in the running.

Not at all and we need programs to help those that need assistance. It just seems that there isn't enough incentive/motivation for some people (those that are capable) on assistance to get into the force and receiving a welfare check every month is the path of least resistance. If the man leaves the house you get you your welfare check and more if you have another kid. Thats ok as long as it's not a life time objective to stay on welfare. There, must be some push or incentive to get them into the work force and be productive and actually feel better about themselves. Right now there isn't. The incentive is to have more kids and keep a man put of the house.
IMO, we need reform and breakthroughs in education, welfare policy, medical and prison reform.
Im a firm believe that learning is the heart of leaving poverty. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to Fish and you can feed him for a lifetime".

As a parent of 6 kids it was important that we coached our kids to get out on their own & stay employed and to live within their means. But, to never think you should be able have all the creature comforts right away if you cannot afford them. Set financial goals work for them. We cannot be enablers for young people to want to skate and not learn to work.
I paid into SS & Medicare/Medicaid while in the work force.
Barfo, Im more of a capitalist, free/mix enterprise guy then a straight Demo socialist. One thing for sure, I am a small government guy!

Well, how are those welfare moms going to have time to learn if their kids can't be supported?

Conservatives rail against people who rely on social assistance, but at the same time they favor public policies that create more people who need social assistance.

You sneaky democratic socialist! Were you trying to turn the US into Venezuela?

Barfo, Im more of a capitalist, free/mix enterprise guy then a straight Demo socialist. One thing for sure, I am a small government guy!

"Socialists" in this country are all capitalists. Socialism in the US means "well, maybe we can become 1/5th as socialist as Canada, but we need to phase it in slowly." It's like debating switching to Doritos because they are healthier than Cheetos. And the response is "no, no, no, Doritos are a slippery slope towards eating only raw kale!"

I have a daughter that is a single Mom w/2 kids that could stay home & maybe collect welfare, however she wants to work which she does and sure it's tough and challenging at times and I even help out on occasion.
If she Leanred to be LAZY and wanted assistance she could but she puts a value on learning a work ethic and teaching her kids along the way.

Lanny, Ive never been wealthy my whole life and I worked for health care coverage. Whats is wrong with that?
There has always been help in this country for those in need and if a percentage of the American public would rather purchase their own health coverage that should be just fine too. Don't simply give free medical and education cart blanch to everyone. If someone needs assistance fine, but they should also be willing to work for it or volunteer their time.

P. T. Barnum explained this phenomenon long ago.

 

[MARIS61]

She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.[25][29][30]

And yet she clearly has no basic concept of economic ideologies and their implementations throughout history, nor their proven effects and consequences. She cannot explain even the most rudimentary differences between socialism and capitalism.

Maybe somebody bought her degree for her. There's really no other logical explanation for it, and that's how it's done nowadays.

I'm not sure that's true.

Social Security wasn't just a socialist plot. It came about because large numbers of old farts were in poverty and not getting help.

Similarly with Medicare and Medicaid.

I never said that ss was a plot. The working person has been paying for it which is fine.
Are people wanting to come to America for the dream, and to work and be prosperous or live off the government?
I say most want to come here for the chance at prosperity and freedom offered. Thats cool!

Both are basically capitalist pension programs with government oversight.

Neither is socialist in structure or implementation.

You used the term socialism and I was explaining that socialism involved government take over of business.

Just because you can't deduce something doesn't mean it's not logical. It just means that you can't understand it.

And how do you explain the hundreds of thousands of dollars, up to $6 Million spent bribing officials to get their kids into top notch schools? Does

He said some of the time. His explanation of all of the time meant today's Republicans.

Democratic Socialism is what I've been referring too. Its a hybrid form of capitalism with more government control through regulations.
Under Democratic socialism, the ownership of private property is limited. The government regulates the economy. I favor more decentralization and smaller government with States having more say.
Just my feelings, we may be of different beliefs on politics and /or religion and/or music and/or sports, buts that cool. Thats freedom and we respect each others point of views.

The word socialism doesn't belong in the expression. It implies a form of socialism which is not the case unless you want to equate swallowing food with swallowing drugs.

I agree, and yes, it is cool.
If you don't mind working people paying for social programs, then you shouldn't have a problem with so-called 'democratic socialism'. Because that's all it is.

That might be a technical definition, but nobody, not even that she-devil AOC, is proposing limited ownership of private property.
