And I thought to myself, 'I haven't had a Schlitz since the third grade!
My sister taught me everything I really need to know, and she was only in sixth grade at the time.
I only went to school up until the beginning of tenth grade and I think that's when my style was developing.
The greatest reward for a student is not a good grade. It is the willingness of his teacher to listen to him.
Books have always been important to me - my mom was a first grade teacher, so I grew up reading all the time.
When I was in third grade I taught myself ventriloquism. . . What's hard is to learn to be an entertainer and make people laugh. I was a few years out of college before I felt I had enough material. Then in 1988 I moved to L. A. and started to do some shows at comedy clubs.
It was probably in third grade - I had a super fake, gold herringbone chain. I don't remember if it was my mom's or how I got it, but ever since then, I've loved chains.
I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It's just amazing to me now that we'd walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill.
I only finished first grade.
By the time I was in sixth grade I could bound every country in the world from memory.
I think watching too much TV as a kid led me to being very uncomfortable in new situations. To this day, when I drop my kids off at school, I still feel like I'm in 9th grade and I'm uncomfortable and insecure. Like anyone is paying any attention.
I never really called people out. It was more along the lines of teasing a person. It started for me in fifth grade on the basketball court.
First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
A fourth-grade reader may be a sixth-grade mathematician. The grade is an administrative device which does violence to the nature of the developmental process.
But I guess you would look beatific, too, if the man you had been in love with since the fifth grade had told you that he was in love with you, too.
My teacher in first grade said that long ago people used to believe all kinds of things, because they didn't know any better. Like you shouldn't take a bath, because it could make you sick. And then someone saw germs under a microscope and started to think differently. You can believe something really hard, and still be wrong. (Faith White)
I'm going through an evolution. I'm completely cleaning out my closet. I'm purging, because I saw that show 'Hoarders. ' I had a sweatshirt from sixth grade, and I'm going, 'Why do I hold on to this?'
I created my MySpace page in eighth grade, because that's how all my friends talked to each other, so I made one, too. Then, all of a sudden, my friends started putting my songs on their profiles, and then their relatives, their friends in different states did.
I was obsessed with Agatha Christie in sixth grade.
I would read the Shel Silverstein poems, Dr. Seuss, and I noticed early on that poetry was something that just stuck in my head and I was replaying those rhymes and try to think of my own. In English, the only thing I wanted to do was poetry and all the other kids were like, "Oh, man. We have to write poems again?" and I would have a three-page long poem. I won a national poetry contest when I was in fourth grade for a poem called "Monster In My Closet.
