Graduate school is a really supportive environment, but in a way, it was only when that support vanished that I flourished.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At a certain point, the graduate school thing didn't work out, and that meant I was liberated.
I look back upon graduate school as being a very happy period in my life. The chance to be thoroughly immersed in physics and to be surrounded by friends pursuing similar goals was a marvelous experience.
I am the only one in my family to graduate college. It was a proud moment for me to receive a degree.
To be very honest, I never thought I would graduate from high school. I got very lucky to get into an alternative high school, which really saved my butt.
The thing I'm most proud of is that I've raised a lot of money for certain charities - breast cancer and the Caldecott Foundation and the NSPCC. But as far as my self-esteem is concerned, doing 'The Graduate' for 11 months was fantastic.
Graduate school is a place to hide for a couple of years.
I could have probably been just as successful by not going to college, but it was the most intellectually stimulating environment that I was ever in.
I pretty much bailed on high school. I mean, I graduated, but I wasn't even there for my own graduation.
I have the support of my parents and my teachers. They made it very possible for me to go to a school that is open and supportive of me being gone at times and pursuing acting. But school always comes first for me.
My parents have always been very supportive. I didn't go to school because my home was my school.
