I remember as a kid having the offer of a scholarship, that it was going to be like going to Mars, and deciding to stay in my public school.

I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had, like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.

I remember when I was a kid in school and teachers would explain things to me about what I read, and I'd think, Where did they get that? I didn't read that in there. Later you look at it and think, That's kind of an interesting idea.

I was home-schooled. My mom wasn't a fan of public school systems.

I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick.

What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.
