When my mother was diagnosed with cancer, my middle school friends and myself really had no idea the impact of that diagnosis, but my family did.

In middle school, I had an '87 Regal. That was unheard of.

My family and high school friends were the only people who were with me every step of the way through my mothers' illness. They sat by my side year after year and consoled me. If they ever sent me a bill, I would be paying them off for the rest of my life.

I started getting really interested in comedy when I was in middle school.

I was a competitive swimmer in middle school and high school.

Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
