I grew up incredibly poor and went to school and had a very average upbringing.
The school was very supportive. The only class that I had to attend every day was biology when we were doing dissections. I would take an 8 a.m. bio class, dissect my animal, and then run to work.
My parents’ biggest thing was that they just wanted me to graduate high school and go to college. They couldn’t fathom me acting for the rest of my life.
I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.
It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend.
What's funny about my group of friends is that none of us ever went to the same school. None of us lived in the same part of town.
I think that you have to restrain yourself from googling your name and have other hobbies and desires and wants. You do a million things. You go to school, you write, you read, you blog.
