In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we'd have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge.
Haile Gebrselassie

I used to run to school, 10k every day. And this at altitude, perfect preparation, really.

I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?
Mick Jagger

Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications.
Fran Lebowitz

A Harvard Medical School study has determined that rectal thermometers are still the best way to tell a baby's temperature. Plus, it really teaches the baby who's boss.
Tina Fey

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.
Tina Fey

I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison

When I was 14, I thought I was the coolest kid in school because I told everyone the jokes in FHM.
Megan Fox

I never went to a modeling school, and I don't suggest to anybody that they go to a modeling school.
Heidi Klum

Well, I was going to school in Germany. And in my free time I was dancing.
Heidi Klum

The real American type can never be a ballet dancer. The legs are too long, the body too supple and the spirit too free for this school of affected grace and toe walking.
Isadora Duncan

I would really like to go back to school. I would love it now.
Fiona Apple

My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
Christina Aguilera

I got along better with the guys than with the girls. Only two girls came up to talk to me. Later I found out they were telling their boyfriends, 'If you talk to her, I'll kill you.' It's always rough with that high school thing.
Christina Aguilera

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw Doctor Zhivago every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
John Hughes

As a 9th grader, I competed with the high school kids and out of 600 people, I finished 10th.
Bo Jackson

I was a pitcher, shortstop and outfielder, and the Yankees tried to sign me out of high school as a first-round draft pick in 1981. I turned them down to go to college.
Bo Jackson

It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day - a letter from Indiana.

The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else.
