We have lots of students graduating from our HIGH schools, and you import the LABOR, then we're not GIVING that opportunity to our own FOLKS.

After graduating COLLEGE in 2001 with a B. A. in Political Science and Speech Communications from Texas State University - San Marcos, I REALIZED that my GENERATION and those younger had been GIVEN no future and had been maliciously robbed of the knowledge of principles and methods necessary for BUILDING one.

It's very IMPORTANT with these young people who are graduating and GETTING MARRIED to write thank-you NOTES.

In my family, graduating and GETTING your bachelor's is just the BEGINNING. It's only expected. You're underachieving if you don't STRIVE for more than that.

When I was 18, graduating HIGH SCHOOL, I was GOING to the UNIVERSITY of Missouri.

I went from 250 to, like, 175 in three and a HALF, FOUR months. And then I ended up graduating with honors. I went from a 2.4 to a 3.06 in a year. It's FUNNY how those two are related. I don't WANT to say that if you lose weight, you'll GET smarter, but... well, it worked for me.

My FIRST job after graduating was WORKING with ROBERT Zemeckis. I got a job a week after graduating and moving to L.A. So I got to work on 'What LIES Beneath' and 'Castaway' as a PA, which is basically like a gopher.

I'm graduating and I'm 23 YEARS OLD, so I can do WHATEVER the HELL I WANT.

I've grown up with the same people my whole LIFE. I've had the same CLASSMATES from ELEMENTARY all the WAY through graduating.

I just never in my life imagined not graduating college, so I feel like it's KIND of my OBLIGATION to my parents, almost, to GIVE them a DEGREE in RETURN for everything they've given me.

After graduating college, I finally allowed myself to strive for what I loved to do, even if there were no guarantees that I would be ABLE to make a living off of acting. This, combined with my life experiences PRIOR - like STARS aligning - led me to this lovely role of Katana within the DC COMICS universe.

After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few FASHION shows, ad SHOOTS, and even GOT a few Bollywood offers, but nothing GREAT.

Anyone graduating from medical school in 1966 had FIRST to fulfill MILITARY service before launching a CAREER. Fiercely opposed to the Vietnam War, I sought to AVOID it through an assignment to the Public Health Service.

I moved to L.A. straight out of graduating my ARTS HIGH school and worked THREE jobs to afford living while taking acting CLASSES and auditioning often.
