I got kicked out in grade school because I staged a riot because I wanted more library time.

I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.

One of the deals coach Durham and I cut was that if Sean kept his grades up, we'd allow him to play. He's done that in the fall. We're pulling for him, and we're excited for him that he can help the baseball team out. Overall it seems like he's done a very good job of handling both.

I was, I'm 5'9" now. By the time I was in seventh grade I was 5'7" and all the guys, the little boys, were coming up to my waist.

I was first influenced by a friend in fifth grade when he brought a Walkman to school and was listening to 'Paradise City' by Guns 'N Roses, which he had concealed within his hoodie. He put the headphones over my ears and I was completely blown away by what I heard. I'll never forget that.

I was the daughter of an immigrant, raised to feel that I needed to get excellent, flawless grades and a full scholarship and a graduate degree and a good job - all the stepping stones to conventional success.
