I didn't blend well with my classmates or my teachers.

I loved school so much that most of my classmates considered me a dork.

I went to bar mitzvahs as a kid. I had a lot of classmates who are Jewish.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

When I was in the second grade, I learned that I looked different from my classmates.

I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.

I grew up in a lower-middle-class environment, usually the lone minority among my classmates.

Middle age is when your old classmates are so grey and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you.

My classmates would copulate with anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself.

Most guys in high school wore clothes seen only by their classmates. I wore clothes seen by the world.

A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.

I was raised in Hollywood and knew, from as early as grammar school, classmates who were in the business.

I was ahead of my classmates in some ways. While they were enjoying Mills & Boons, I was reading Ayn Rand.

My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates.

My biggest phobia is spiders. When I was in second grade, one of my classmates got bitten. That did it for me.

It was very weird when my classmates were getting hundred-thousand-dollar cars because that was so not my reality.

The first bet I remember was on the Chargers in Super Bowl 29 with my classmates. I lost a lot of weeks' allowance.

I used to take a recorder around and interview my parents and do impressions of my classmates as guests on my show.

I moved back to Boston and joined some of my Harvard classmates at Bain & Co. I quickly realized I enjoyed business.

I was the tallest guy in the school, and I was very conscious of being larger than anybody - classmates and teachers.

As a child, I would put on shows in my neighborhood with friends and perform Barbra Streisand songs for my classmates.

At school, before I left, I was making cake mixes and taking them to school, giving them to teachers and my classmates.

I was never top of the class at school, but my classmates must have seen potential in me, because my nickname was Einstein.

I come from a very close class. I lucked out because drama schools are often very competitive... I have fourteen classmates.

I've grown up with the same people my whole life. I've had the same classmates from elementary all the way through graduating.

In fact, I was voted Prom Queen by my classmates in my senior year. So I went from being a wrestler to the prom queen in a year.

Even as a kid, classmates asked pointed personal questions about my family. I have conditioned myself to handle it with maturity.

I have members of my family who are in the military. I have friends who are in the military. Classmates who served in the military.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

I felt intimidated the entire time I was in school by my teachers and classmates. But I just knew acting was something I wanted to do.

Each part of my life provided respite from the other and gave me a sense of proportion that classmates trained only on law studies lacked.

Almost 50 years old now, some 30 years after graduation, I look at my Caltech classmates and conclude that math whizzes do not take over the world.

One of society's thorniest problems is that children from poor families start school lagging badly behind their more affluent classmates in readiness.

For many parents - myself included - I would be extremely happy for my children to grow up finding that their LGBT classmates are exactly the same as them.

I went to private school for two years, then Aptos Middle School, and I finished at McAteer. Several of my classmates at those schools are my friends today.

Students who have spent their childhood here in Florida deserve to qualify for the same in-state tuition rate at universities their peers and classmates do.

I was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.

I got out of difficult situations when many of my classmates didn't because I was smart, and I was lucky, and my parents were amazingly literate and helpful.

When I was in high school, I didn't feel like I had to pile on the APs in order to look good to colleges. High-achieving classmates didn't use private tutors.

If you film a little boy going to school, the big event in that boy's day and all the classmates' and teachers' day is you being there filming, not the school.

I went to school with butterflies of fear every day for years - from primary school onwards - not just worried about being bullied by classmates, but by teachers.

My egotistical concern was less that I would fail to relate to my classmates than that they would know nothing of my uniquely tortured life's course and, thus, me.

As seventh graders, my classmates and I would make rockets to see what made them fly and models of remote-controlled motor boats because Palanpur had heavy rainfall.

My sense of my own superiority over many of my classmates would have been much more muted if I knew that they had seen me failing miserably at woodwork or cross-stitch.

I knew I would work in a community that I would like to live in, but I had no idea that I would ever go into politics, even though some of my classmates thought I would.

When I look back at where I came from, at the school I attended... my classmates for the most part haven't had successful paths - many have had a difficult, chaotic path.

When I was young, I was teased mercilessly by my classmates for being a redhead. I wasn't particularly well coordinated either, which made me a bit of a liability in P.E.

I actually went to law school with Jim Comey. We were in the same class, and he was respected by our classmates just like he was respected by the agents that he supervised.

I attended first a military academy, then a public school in Beverly Hills, where we lived, and many of my classmates were the children of movie stars and studio executives.

When I left high school - I was younger than my classmates, just 17 - I knew I wanted to be an actress, but I thought, 'When I go to college, I'd rather study something else.'
