I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.

The ninth grade. I went from 5'9' to 6'8'.

I taught sixth grade for three and a half years.

I've been six feet tall since the sixth grade.

Sixth grade was a big time, in my childhood, of hoops and friendship, and coming up with funny things.

I never finished the ninth grade.

I only finished first grade.

Sixth grade was definitely a hard year for me. I got left out because I didn't go to any of the parties or hang out with the 'cool kids.' I was focusing on my academics. I wasn't allowed to go to any of the parties.

I skipped kindergarten because I was reading at a pretty high level. That's a weird and cocky thing to say, but I was real sharp, and I knew that early on.

I'd like to say I was smart enough to finish six grades in five years, but I think perhaps the teacher was just glad to get rid of me.
