I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons." - Greg Heffley,
When I was in high school, I became interested in cytochemistry: chemical analysis under the microscope, and trying to understand the composition of cells.
I had always choreographed a little, beginning in high school. And I leaned toward choreography. I always had an overview of what was going on.
I wasn't even prepared to be an actress. I was 17 when I came out of high school, and suddenly became Miss World and then I became an actress.
When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.
Then again, I think about high school every day and I think about being a little kid every day too.
There was quite a lot of lying around in fields at Stonar, a small independent girls' school in the country near Bath. It was a non-selective school and the right environment for me: academically not particularly pushy.
That's correct, I flunked out of high school twice because I couldn't write.
The public school system doesn't get everybody. Every generation has its rebels.
I always thought that sororities were just made up of cheerleaders from high school. And I kind of picked on those cheerleaders!

Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
I just couldn't get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn't do the makeup and the hairdos.
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
It's well known that many girls have a tendency to dumb down when they're in middle school.
I played golf competitively as a teenager. I actually took a year off after high school and just played golf and went to a university in France for maybe a month and dropped out.
I spent my last year of high school in Latin America, and there's a edge of salsa under all of my rhythms.
I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row.
I remember being in high school and listening to Vivaldi's 'Winter' and being so overwhelmed with emotion.
The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
In my early teens, I was a janitor. In high school, I got up early to deliver to accounts that required early service.
