I am the only one in my family to graduate college. It was a proud moment for me to receive a degree.

I wish I had more time to visit schools.

Getting through high school and college was one of my greatest achievements.

I love school. I was a great student.

My high school years were fun and frustrating, typical of the teen years. The most important accomplishment was meeting my wife, Ruth.

I loved school.

Every year, I am reminded of the kids who aren't in the freshman class and aren't graduating. I remember every single one of them. That is the worst of times for me, to see the future snuffed out.

I've said all along it's a humbling experience being at UCLA. Extremely proud, extremely blessed to be at an institution with all this tradition.
