I was missing out on public school and going to the football games, prom or homecomings. But I've been to three World Championships... so I think it's like a win-win.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My high school wasn't a big public school; it was tiny. There were 36 girls in my graduating class. We were a big group of girls that by the time senior year came along couldn't wait to get away from school fast enough but we loved each other. It's really fun to see the girls at reunions now.
I think it's great the opportunity is given to all of us really to come out and play major championships after the real major championships have gone beyond us.
I wanted to go to regular high school - it looked like a lot of fun.
I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.
I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.
They were ridiculous times. After I won my world championship in 1976, I went to Japan.
It feels kinda weird being back in a high school cause I haven't been in a high school for about a year. So um, it's kinda interesting coming back, and y'know seeing the lockers, with all the signs, the handmade signs, so being in high school again is a little bit strange but in a good way.
High school is such an awkward, difficult time, and I think a lot of people can't wait to explore the world because it's such a bubble.
You give up your childhood. You miss proms and games and high-school events, and people say it's awful... I say it was a good trade. You miss something but I think I gained more than I lost.
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
