By the time a man is 35 he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man which he received in high school do not work in life.
By the time I reached high school my father's grocery store had made our life adequately comfortable and I was able to choose, without any practical encumbrances, the subjects that I wanted to pursue in college.
There are so many things I wish I had learned when I was 16 or 17 years old. They would have been game changers in my life.
The reason why I found acting is because my father passed away. He passed away really young. I was going to go to med school. My father's dream was that all of his kids become doctors. I realized in school I didn't like it. When he died, it was like ...
School is a foretaste of life.
I think school is so much harder than real life. People are so much more accepting when they are adults.
Life is not a fairground, but a school. -- Franz Bardon
Singing with children in the schools has been the most rewarding experience of my life.
I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.
And so for a couple of years my life was divided between my music and my school books.
I found going to school when I was modeling very grounding. It's really kept my perspective on bigger things in my life.
Patrick: My life is officially an after school special.
High school sucked. It was a universal truth, and whoever said these were supposed to be the best years of your life was probably drunk or delusional.
A lot of kids think high school represents the best years of their lives, but others recognize that it's mostly irrelevant bullshit, and that life doesn't even begin until afterward.
I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.
I've done business with people I've met in politics, who I went to law school with, who I grew up with. Who do you do business with? People you meet in life.
I grew six, seven inches in junior year of high school, so I played guard my whole life growing up. So I think there's where I got my skill set from.
I graduated from public high school. I went to the prom. I did it all. But I also worked on 30-million dollar movies with roller coasters and Michelle Pfeiffer. It's been a very interesting and blessed life for sure.
We mostly say that we hate to go to school. But life's a school its-self, and the lessons are the struggles of each day and the grades are what we've learned and how we use it!
...education is a sacred thing, and the pledge to build a school is a commitment that cannot be surrendered or broken, regardless of how long it may take, how many obstacles must be surmounted, or how much money it will cost. It is by such promises t...
All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life.
