Amused Quotes
I knew more about produce from the sea than any of my schoolmates, and my reports in school, from kindergarten on, amused and shocked my classmates and teachers. I told them how we ate with chopsticks, had rice and seaweed for breakfast, raw fish, octopus, and sea urchin eggs for supper, and cakes made from sharks.

Cynical Quotes
Because I was from the Midwest and untrained, I was completely open and ready to try anything. Many of my classmates were cynical and jaded; some already had conservatory training, and they were there simply to get that Yale stamp of approval, which they saw as a career stepping-stone.

Degree Quotes
I was the first in my family to go to college, and I waitressed all the way through, using my earnings to pay for a bachelor's degree first and then a master's. I resented classmates who didn't have to work real jobs, the ones who had the luxury of taking unpaid internships that would eventually position them for high-paying careers.

Atmosphere Quotes
We've been trying to simulate a lot of crowd noise. For example, at practice all week we've played loud music in order to simulate the chaotic environment. All season long we've played better on the road than we have at U-Hall. Sometimes there's not as much pressure on you on the road because there are no classmates or friends in the stands, and hopefully we'll be able to continue that trend. We need to be able to handle the atmosphere of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Adopted Quotes
It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.
