My mom didn't want me to go to college. She didn't want me to read - when I read, I may as well have been holding a pineapple.
I always told my mother I wanted a job where I could have a lot of fun and have a lot of time off. She asked me where I was going to find that, and I said, 'I don't know, but it's out there.'
I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.
I was going to college on a full scholarship. I graduated summa cum laude. I was always on the dean's list. I was never a kid that started any kind of trouble.
