Jensen also had a reason to pick her high school. As she shared, “Much of the reason why I chose Hans Nielsen Hauge VGS was that I had a specific goal of getting better at mathematics, as an average grade of four was required to enter the teacher training college. After an extremely good follow-up from the math teacher and hard work, I went from two to a solid five in mathematics.”
