The drone in my ear, it's like the tornado drill in elementary school, the hand-cranked siren that rang mercilessly, all of us hunched over on ourselves, facing the basement walls, heads tucked into our chests. Beth and me wedged tight, jeaned legs pressed against each other. The sounds of our own breathing. Before we all stopped believing a tornado, or anything, could touch us, ever - Megan Abbott There was a great deal of peer recognition to be gained in elementary school by being able to draw well. One girl could draw horses so well, she was looked upon as a kind of sorceress. - Chris Van Allsburg The same boys who got detention in elementary school for beating the crap out of people are now rewarded for it.

The nuns were so brutal so I used to try to make my friends laugh. - Julie Brown There was plenty of dysfunc...

I'm stuck in a boarding school filled with sheep. - Libba Bray The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons and took me to a new boarding school. - Rick Riordan The two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad.

I would love it now. - Fiona Apple I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard.

My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise. - Christina Aguilera When he went blundering back to God, His songs half written, his work half done, Who knows what paths his bruised feet trod, What hills of peace or pain he won? I hope God smiled and took his hand, And said, "Poor truant, passionate fool! Life's book is hard to understand: Why couldst thou not remain at school?" A poem by Charles Hanson Towne - Mitch Albom We were taught to be dependable, responsible, the top of our classes at school, the most organized and efficient babysitters in town, the very miniature models of our hardworking farmer/nurse mother, a pair of junior Swiss Army knives, born to multitask. - Elizabeth Gilbert When I was six years old I sprinkled sugar on my head, convinced myself it was pixie dust, wished myself invisible...

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis.

If she had been in a comedy club she would have gotten up and walked out, but instead she had to go to the comedian's house after school and let his cousin beat the crap out of her. - Josephine Angelini Daemon followed me home after school. Literally. He tailed me in his new Infiniti SUV. My old Camry, with its leaky exhaust and loud muffler, was no match for the speed he wanted t...

In case I become a Norma Desmond when I grow up, I can have something to fall back on! - Anna Chlumsky I couldn't help but think about school and everything else ending. I liked standing just outside the couches and watching themit was a kind of sad I didn't mind, and so I just listened, letting all the happiness and the sadness of this ending swirl around in me, each sharpening the other. For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest was cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way. - John Green The cliche had it that kids were the future, but that wasn't it: they were the unreflective, active present. They ...
