For me specifically, it was important to graduate. In my family, I was one of the first graduates. My mom did not have a college degree. My dad did not have a college degree.

I think I really benefited from going to college.

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 feel so gratified about having finished college. I learned how to articulate myself. It gave me confidence more than anything. And also the ability to analyze the text.

College was just so essential for my sense of self and my development.

I did regret not graduating high school, but I made a point of going back and getting my GED later. It was important for my kids.

When you're in college, everything seems much more important than it really is.

I had, before I went to college, I had taken a few years off after high school and really had, I guess in those days, I had no intentions of going to college.
