What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it feels about education.
I started performing at school and drama classes when I was 7.
By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
I'd love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi.
What I know is my music gets blamed for school shootings.
If you're going to school, you should do what you enjoy.
All the kids from my nursery school are still in touch.
Even where there are no schools, there are teachers.

I never knew what language they'd lapse into when fucked - Urdu or Telugu or a mix of both (only the techies came in English).
Don't fuck with an English major. They keep lots of useless crap trapped in their heads. Once in a while they let some of it out and it bites you square on the ass.
The history of literature is very far from being one of simple progress.
I'd studied English since the first grade but considered it a murky language, one whose grammar seemed to have been made up on the fly
I trained as a writer before I became a lawyer. I was headed for a life as an English professor, but that just wasn't me. I'm not a scholar; I didn't have a scholar's attitude toward literature.
When I was old enough, I was 21 years of age, I decided to come to America. I did it illegally, so I jumped the border. I didn't speak any English.
