In 2010, I was doing pretty well. I was going to go to graduate school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a 20-year, stellar government career.
I was a great student. I was good at everything.
My career has had a lot of ups and downs, but basically it has been wonderful.
I was a good student in school.
I graduated from college in 1980.
The fact is I still have quite a few good years in front of me. I still improve.
I took six months off, finished high school, and hung out with friends.
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.
My best year was probably 1948, and after that, it's been downhill for me.
I graduated in 2009, which - if you think back to where the economy was at that time - was an interesting time to graduate.
