I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid.
In 1941 I finished at Allison Intermediate School (grades 7-9), and started at North High School, commuting by bicycle about 5 miles from home to school.
I should hope I dress differently at 25 than I did when I graduated high school. I hope I never stop changing.
Our goal is to see Big History become a normal part of high school curricula. I'd love to see it being taught in lots of languages. A global course.
My history is pretty different from the history of most professors. I was a high school dropout. I dropped out and became a science fiction writer.
Looking back at my high school years, I'm struck by how slowly history can move.
I graduated from high school in 1963. There were no computers, cell phones, Internet, credit cards, cassette tapes or cable TV.
I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.
The hardest part was when I was in high school not having a job and always being broke. I had to get to auditions without a car. I either took the bus or walked.
I had a '56 Ford, and my first car was a '49 Chevy. I converted it to a stick and used to race with the other high school kids down along the river.
It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.
These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.
In high school, I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in - and I never went.
When I was in high school, the genders were so separate from each other. If you weren't 'dating' somebody, you couldn't just be friends with somebody.
I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
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.
The great thing is that I'm getting my revenge on everybody who treated me badly in high school. The bad thing is I had to go back to high school to do it.
I kind of did this thing in high school, a spoof of 'Sweeney Todd' called 'Shirley Todd,' and I had a great time doing that.
I was never involved in any fights in high school. I'm glad I wasn't. I'm not very big, and I don't find great joy in cuts and bruises.
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
When I wear high heels I have a great vocabulary and I speak in paragraphs. I'm more eloquent. I plan to wear them more often.
