I was home schooled in high school but was definitely the nerd in middle school. I was in three academic clubs, a huge book worm, and the teacher's pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies.
I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.
I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
I saw my friends in medical school seeming to be more engaged with the real world. That provoked a sort of jealousy, and I decided to go to medical school after all.
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.
In fourth grade I had a high school reading level, but I didn't want to go to school and I didn't feel I belonged there.
High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you're there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified.
I had an all right high school, even though I hated school. I wasn't massively popular, but I was okay. But I wouldn't want to do it again.
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I moved to Anderson, Indiana, in 2003 to go to school. I finished high school in America, then I went to college.
In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.
I taught English, first at a Catholic school and then at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif.
I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.
In my schooling through high school, I excelled mainly in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
And yet 50 percent of the kids who start high school in the United States today do not finish high school.
What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all.
I had managers approaching me in high school asking me if I wanted to act professionally, but to me, having to miss school to do that meant missing time with my friends, which was completely unacceptable.
I started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time.
I was a bad dater, and up until 8th grade I went to an all boy's school. So, by the time I hit high school I was a bit freaked out by women in general.
I joined the after-school club, School of Comedy, which progressed wildly, and in quite a Hollywood way. It sounds like 'School of Rock', right up to trying to raise money to pay for a venue in Edinburgh.
I kept hiding my smile in pictures throughout middle school and most of high school until picture day came my senior year.
