When I graduated from high school the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag I just want to be an example.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

I took acting classes in college and once I graduated I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.

It's fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated.

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.

I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double major in history and political science.

I remember the first pangs of stress arriving at the end of school. Once I graduated I had to get a full-time job worry about health insurance saving money paying rent - things I'd never thought about before.
