I was a social studies teacher at a high school in the Bronx for five years.

I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher - all in high school.

I was a high school teacher when I joined Bullet Club and started going to Japan.

My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that's still what I do: teach.

I started out as a high school teacher in inner-city Chicago and realized quite quickly that my students weren't that motivated.

In high school, I once sang 'Let's Get It On' and 'Brown Sugar' with a band that included my English teacher and my math teacher.

At high school, instead of the weekly essay, I would write a poem, and the teacher accepted that. The impulse was one of laziness, I'm certain. Poems were shorter than essays.

I had a teacher senior year in high school. He was a theater teacher, and he basically was a little bit like 'High School Musical.' He kind of encouraged the jocks to get involved with the plays. I did it as kind of a senior year lark.

By junior high, I was a horrible student. But during my sophomore year of high school, I did have a fabulous English teacher, and I would go to school just for her class and then skip out afterwards. That's actually when I started writing, although I didn't think of it then as something I might someday do.
