I probably didn't put forth the effort I should have put forth, didn't realize the value of education until I went to college.
Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
Early college high schools in North Carolina and across the country show us that challenge - not remediation - is an approach to education that works.
My mother was an awful cook, an exceptionally awful kosher cook, but I stayed kosher until I got to college, even though I'd long stopped believing in God.
Not graduating high school on time leads to fewer chances of attending college and obtaining good paying jobs, and creates instead higher chances of incarceration and unemployment.
I love dancing, but I'm not that good of a singer. I sang in punk rock bands in high school and college and stuff, but that mostly involved lots of screaming.
I thought I would, you know, go to college, get to law school, finish, and then get a job and work as a lawyer, but that proved to be not a good fit for me.
And when I started college, I think I was good at two things: arguing and asking questions.
I really wanted to be a doctor, until my freshman year of college when I realized that while I was good at chemistry and biology, I really wasn't feeling challenged by it.
It's a good idea to revitalize community colleges, to cut back, to modify the student loan program so it doesn't go through banks.
I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.
I learned law so well, the day I graduated I sued the college, won the case, and got my tuition back.
The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner.
I didn't do improv in college, I never performed, I didn't do theater either. I was in student government, I was a history major.
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
My favorite thing is still journalism. I'm almost 50. This has been my life ever since I was in college.
I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.
Life changed at 40 for me, as predicted by my acting teacher when I was leaving college. I became more hirable and more interesting... I'm not sure why.
I learned American Sign Language in college and seemed to pick it up rather quickly. I really love to sign and wish that I had more friends to sign with.
I love football. My weekends are booked. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL and 'Monday Night Football.' Booked! Football is first, then basketball and then everything else.
In college, I was a weather anchor for the local news. I would 'borrow' my forecast from The Weather Channel.
