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.
I was involved with my theater program in high school, and I was involved in a festival where I could audition for a lot of different schools.
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.
I remember a moment when the Prince went back to his old school, Grammar School in Melbourne, and slightly to his horror his old music teacher produced a cello.
I got the writing bug in the fourth grade when a poem of mine was published in the school newspaper. Music criticism came a little later, when I was in high school.
I was always keen to get involved in the school drama productions and was a member of the school choir. I was lucky to have attended schools that took music and drama very seriously and the teachers were just brilliant.
My mom wanted to be a country singer, too, so country was always being played. And my girlfriends and I used to go to concerts, like Brad Paisley, in middle school and high school.
When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
