All through the student years, I was at the top of my class although I was two years younger than everybody else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a good student in school.
I was a great student. I was good at everything.
All through my senior year, luckily, I didn't have too many hard classes, just a lot of electives. I was able to spend most of my time at the practice space.
I went to a public high school that had a very small graduating class of 156 students. I lived a relatively normal childhood until I turned probably around 16. Things started to take off career-wise.
I think I spent most of my childhood, and my early years as a performer, in student mode. And I think that's OK - I mean, it led me to where I am.
I wasn't that over-the-top, but I got sent to the principal in first grade for talking. And my father was for a long time the president of the Board of Education. That was always a hard note to bring home.
I was a good student. My mom is a teacher, and her side of the family is all teachers. She put a big emphasis on getting good grades.
I didn't do very well academically; I was always in the bottom class.
I was never an A student, but I was really well behaved until I was 13 or so.
I was at my best at a little past forty, when I was a professor at Oxford.
