I was going to be valedictorian in elementary school, but I got into too many fights, and they made me salutatorian. I was smart back in the day. Now I'm just an idiot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I realized that the only way to get into a good college was to be valedictorian or salutatorian. So that was my goal.
Basically I was a rebel growing up. I got kicked out of six schools. But I don't think that it makes you less of an intellect. You know, if you ever crave knowledge, there's always a library.
I was a smart kid, but I hated school.
I wasn't the brightest kid in school. I was a backbencher troubling the frontbencher, and eventually I failed in my 10th grade. But then in higher secondary, there were only three people who got first division in arts, and I was one of them. So this tells you, where you put your mind and heart into, that's where you go.
I was a very, very serious child... I was valedictorian of my kindergarten and eighth-grade class.
I had a ninth grade teacher who told me I was much smarter and much better than I was allowing myself to be.
Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, 'cause I'm very smart.
I hated school so bad. I only liked art class during high school. I was always smart.
I was voted valedictorian, and at my school it wasn't based on grades; that was the popular vote.
