You learn how to be an individual quick after 15 schools, man. After the first five or six, you realize you're always gonna be the new kid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So I continued through my next school, which takes me up to the age of 17, moving from the bottom stream of one year into the bottom stream of the next year, all the way through. I showed other talents which gave me self-respect, which is fine.
I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.
Enjoy the little fun things - like taking your kids to school - before they're all grown up.
Once I started the first school, I realized this is what my life is meant to be, is to promote education and help kids go to school, and that's very clear.
The hardest part about being a kid is knowing you have got your whole life ahead of you.
I never understand when people say, 'School days are the best of your life.' So it's all downhill from 16? How depressing.
So many people try to grow up too fast, and it's not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!
Nowadays people seem to switch schools, either because they have to, and certain schools only serve certain grades, or because they move to a different place or have some particular interest, but I was in the same school for 13 years.
Growing up, you tended to just go through school to get out, then figure out what you want to do in this big ball of mud.
When you're a kid, your first five or six years, you converge all the time. School is about training that out of you, especially universities.
