The secret truth of ‘Celebrity Apprentice‘ is that it isn’t very hard… ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ is easy like junior high is easy.

To counteract that, strictly for self-defense, I wanted to get bigger.
96
I’m happy that I know how to speakSouthern.’ I spent a lot of time in Alabama throughout my life. I even lived there for part of junior high and high school, so I learned the true beauty and mastery of the Southern dialect. ‘Y’all’ is one of the greatest and most useful words ever invented.

118
I’m a junior – like Dinosaur Jr.

I’ve been into Sonic Youth since junior high school. I think I kind of have ADD, so it’s good music for ADD because it just throws you in different directions all the time. I really like Kim Gordon‘s voice and Thurston Moore‘s voice, and I like the guitars going off on tangents.

Josh Keaton
153

George Thorogood

Fred Couples
163

My first broadcast partner provided color commentary even though he was totally blind. Leroy McGuirk was a former NCAA Wrestling Champion at Oklahoma State University and long time kingpin of the NWA Junior Heavyweight Division before losing his sight in a car accident in Little Rock in the early 1950s.
167
Work hard. I got tenure a year early. Junior faculty members used to say to me: ‘Wow, what’s your secret?’ I said: ‘It’s pretty simple. Call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o’clock, and I’ll tell you.’
168
I have vivid memories of junior high school. I didn’t quite know how to deal with kids and make friends and all of that. If you talked to people who knew me at the time, they’d think I was a popular kid in school. But boy, I didn’t feel that.
169
During the summer of 1963 between my junior and senior years, I began a research project on hypothermia in the Department of Surgery with Sidney Wolfson. I quickly became fascinated by the project and continued working on it throughout my senior year.
Stanley B. Prusiner
170
When I was playing junior football when I was a kid, we were the Geneva Giants, so it was kind of embedded in me to be a Giants fan.
171
The first event I vividly remember was competing at the Junior Olympics in Seattle, Washington. It was my first major competition outside of Texas, and I remember being very nervous. I could not control my nerves, and I threw a few fouls.
172
Yes, from the time I was in junior high school I decided I wanted to be a chemist. I didn’t quite know what a chemist was, but I kept it up and got my Ph.D. in physical chemistry.
Gordon Moore
173
I went from not being known anywhere in the world to winning junior Wimbledon and six months later playing the Australian Open. I was a victim of my own success, really.
174
My junior and senior year in college is when I first realized what MMA is and really started liking it. I went the other route – I went into the entertainment field and started wrestling professionally, and I did that for about 11 years.
175
I didn’t figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.
176
I don’t like the tropes, particularly in my industry, that the senior women are mean to the junior staff.
177
We raised almost 2 million dollars at the last golf tournament that can be used for minority scholarships and Junior Golf programs. The payoff for the work we do is so much more valuable than the work we actually do for it.
178
When I really discovered who God was and had a firm relationship with him my junior year of college, I journaled constantly. All day long. I had boxes of journals. They were really just love letters to God, just thanking him and praying out loud and telling him my desires.
179
I went to play in Brazil when I had just turned 18 and was the world’s top junior player. I got to the airport, and no one knew who I was. I couldn’t speak any Portuguese, and no one spoke English. Then someone said something that resembled ‘tennis,’ and I went with that.
180
The reason I went to an all-boys Catholic school was because they had the best football team. We won the state championship my junior year. It was super-competitive. We lost in the semifinals my senior year, and it still haunts me.
Theo Rossi
181
I did improv in junior high school. Figuring out my comedic timing helped my confidence in talking to the bullies and talking to people in class. If I could make them laugh, then I was in; I was OK.
182
Until I am satisfied TA is committed to funding the development of junior Australian talent, including my sister Sara, on a non-discriminatory basis, I do not believe there is any point in meeting.
183
My parents are doctors, both my sisters are doctors, so I figured I’d just be a doctor too. Sometime in my junior year, I had this sudden realization that maybe that wasn’t for me. I was sort of lost at sea.
184
I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I’ve always been very athletic.
185
I didn’t know what my passion was until I discovered the dramatic arts in junior high and high school and I realized, ‘Oh, I like this. This is something I feel like I’m good at.’ But, the idea of moving to Hollywood and becoming an actor was really unrealistic.
186
I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I’d always wanted to try it.
187
When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.
188
I didn’t play JV because I went straight to varsity and started as a 10th grader – that was back in the day when you could not play varsity as a ninth grader. I went right from playing junior high football to varsity.
189
In my junior year, I became one of the best defenders on my team, and as the years go by my confidence gets even higher, and that’s because of my coach.
Yuta Watanabe
190
I wrote ‘The Spy Who Came in from the Cold‘ at the age of 30 under intense, unshared personal stress and in extreme privacy. As an intelligence officer in the guise of a junior diplomat at the British Embassy in Bonn, I was a secret to my colleagues, and much of the time to myself.
191
I didn’t get Facebook until I was maybe a junior or senior in high school.
192
The boys in junior high get really lewd and say outrageous stuff to the girls. If somebody yelled the stuff at me that I’ve heard at junior high schools I’ve visited, I’d be scared and humiliated.
193
When we first started in Huntington Recreation with John Capobianco, we put four kids in the Golden Gloves finals. We didn’t even have a ring. We trained at Stimson Junior High School. They give us the gym three nights a week. We used to box in the gym – no ring, just on the gym floor.
194
The thing that really struck me when I went to junior high was class. I grew up on a pretty poor street, but the school district I was in included some fine neighborhoods – so I got to know a couple of the kids from those places and went to their houses and experienced such culture shock.
195
I actually ran in junior high school a little bit, you know, like most kids do in track and things. Then I got out of it and just trained for football and played ball for so many years – high school, college and the NFL.
196
I started playing quarterback my junior year of high school.
Jimmy Garoppolo
197
I grew up on a farm in Lexington, Oklahoma, a rural community south of Norman. My family moved to Enid, Oklahoma, in 1962, when I was a junior in high school. This cast me into a totally different environment. Enid was a company town for Champlin Petroleum, and there was an oil boom going on.
Harold Hamm
198
Here is a secret that no one has told you: Real life is junior high.
199
I had two DVDs my junior year. One was ‘Fletch’ and one was ‘Goodfellas,’ and I watched those movies so much. I just remember eating Ramen noodles and watching ‘Goodfellas.’
200
I train with top guys like Chuck Liddell and Lyoto Machida, I have trained with Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, and nobody have ever dominated me.
201
I got into a fight with a kid in junior high, and then we became friends after that.
202
Once my junior year finished at Florida State, I won the Rhodes Scholarship and I was also projected as a second-round draft pick.
203
My experience with the Junior League, when I worked in Philadelphia for four years in reference to children’s things, is that whenever they were asked they responded. They always responded with sincerity, and they did a good job.
C. Everett Koop
204
I love my grandpa so much. I’ve just spent so many times with him on the golf course. He’s watched me play and win so many junior golf tournaments.
205
Everybody had to go to some college or other. A business college, a junior college, a state college, a secretarial college, an Ivy League college, a pig farmer‘s college. The book first, then the work.
206
I’ve known my two best girlfriends since junior high school.
207
When I was in junior high school, I knew I really wanted to sing.
208
My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.
209
I was on ‘Junior Star Search’ when I was 10 years old, in the acting category. The adult version of ‘Star Search’ didn’t have an acting category, but for the kids, they had an acting category. It was the strangest thing. It was full blown 1980s, with big hair, mullets, and the whole deal.
210
I spent my childhood in Newfoundland and then my junior high and high school years in Alberta, Canada.
Sara Canning
211
The only reason I got into broadcasting was, I needed money to pay for my junior and senior years at college, and they hired me, those fools!
212
In my junior year in college, I was getting kind of tired of French. So, I took an economics course, and I loved it. The rest of my two years in college I spent in economics.
213
On the Junior Boys’ ‘When No-one Caresbeats are abandoned altogether, the track’s ‘endless night’ lit only by the dying-star flares and stalactite-by-flashlight pulse of reverbed electronics.
214
It’s interesting how there are a few times in your life when you get to reinvent yourself. Like the beginning of junior high or high school, and certainly when you go off to college.
215
Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior.
216
Respectfully, the civil rights movement for people with disabilities is modeled on the African American civil rights movement. I’m old enough to remember 1964. I was a junior in high school.
Robert David Hall
217
I want to prove I’m the best junior middleweight in the world.
218
I grew six, seven inches in junior year of high school, so I played guard my whole life growing up. So I think there’s where I got my skill set from.
Kelly Olynyk
219
In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men’s’ and women’s’ choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it.
220
I wish I had never got manic depression. When I was in junior high, I didn’t know what was the matter with me. It was as if I’d died or something. Now that I go to a clinic and get the right kind of medicine, I am not as depressed as I used to be.
Daniel Johnston
221
I have to say I’ve worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.
222
My freshman year, I played third, and sophomore and junior, third.
223
I’m an architect. Before you start pouring the concrete, you build a foundation that is solid so that when you take the scaffolding down, it holdsforever. So that when junior high schools are doing ‘Hunchback,’ a 12-year-old as Frollo still works on some level.
224
And that’s another piece of advice I’ll give junior writers; when you get to the point where they take you to lunch, let the editor suggest where to go.
225
I love what happens between colleagues. It’s just another facet of family to me. That’s certainly what we explored all over ‘The West Wing’. I was an intern in my first season between my junior and senior years of college. Then, I worked on the staff for the next six years.
Lauren Schmidt Hissrich
226
My junior year, when I completed 57 percent of my balls, I was very very frustrated in myself.
227
My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That’s what my parents called me. I also got ‘Teddy Ruxpin’ a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it, so when a teacher called out ‘James Franco’ my junior year of high school, I didn’t correct her.
228
Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.
229
At 18-years-old, you have no money. You have no game. Your life experience is limited to getting fired from a part-time gig at the driving range and totaling your mom’s Saturn Ion junior year.
230
One of the big factors in me going to an independent school was the bullying at junior school. But it wasn’t an easy choice for my parents. And now, I do have issues with independent schools.
231
I’ve been thinking of humorous things since I was… I can’t remember when. All the way through elementary school, all the way through junior high, all the way through high school, through college and after college, I was thinking of the same kinds of things that I say in front of an audience now.
232
2010 was an incredible year for me. I won the Best of the Super Juniors, and went on to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title. That was an unbelievable achievement.
233
I grew up in the West Village and went to the New York City Lab School for junior high.
234
When I created the Cruiserweight division in WCW, nobody called them cruiserweights in the industry at that point. That was a boxing term, not a wrestling term, but I did not want to call them junior heavyweights, light heavyweights, or anything that made them sound diminutive. I wanted it to sound special and cool.
235
Children go from being a kind of cultural protectorate to the Junior Auxiliary of the tube-watching nation at large, and programs are designed for them on the same principle as they’re designed for grown-ups: as a way to sell eyeballs to advertisers.
236
And during my college, at the end of the junior year I worked in a mine.
Rube Goldberg
237
I have lovely memories of Los Angeles in the 1930s. I came down to live with my mother’s cousin and they invited me to come and go to junior college for a year.
238
I’m a huge fan of Tolkien. I read those books when I was in junior high school and high school, and they had a profound effect on me. I’d read other fantasy before, but none of them that I loved like Tolkien.
239
My best friend and I went to sleep-away camp every summer. We’d share stories of making out with boys, but we never did, so we made it all up. My real first kiss was at a friend’s house when I was in junior high. He was such a good kisser, and we’re still close friends!
240
When I started ‘Hudson Hawk,’ I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this – the guy who hadn’t proven anything in terms of box-office success.
Michael Lehmann
241
Red Bull doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Neither Buemi nor Alguersuari would have progressed through the junior ranks – let’s not forget Alguersuari won the British Formula Three championship – without the support.
242
I couldn’t wait to get out of school in junior high to get with Willie Green to pick up some of the riffs he knew.
243
I was around 15 when I first wanted to compete in an Olympics. I even remember the first time I got to wear a GB kit as a junior. I’ve even kept it. It’s in my mum‘s loft somewhere, probably gone mouldy by now.
244
If a player fails to perform in four or five consecutive matches, he should be dropped irrespective of whether he is a senior or a junior player.
245
I tell you, in this country, you don’t get much of an education. Throughout high school, through junior college, which is all I went, I didn’t know anything about the annihilation of all the Indian nations that were here.
Yuri Kochiyama
246
There are certain fundamental things that scream, ‘I just moved to New York.’ Things like eating cheesecake at Junior’s or heading out to Coney Island to ride the Cyclone.
247
Wednesday a junior came to me, and told me I was to be hazed as I left the Opera House Friday night.
248
I studied abroad my junior year of college.
249
I had done some commercial work in junior high and stuff – my mother would bring me into the city, and we’d go on these crazy castings. Acting was something I always dreamed of doing… it was my passion when I was young.
250
I don’t know if I was popular in high school. My school was actually not really clique-y, which was nice. I went to a very artsy school, so everyone was kind of friends with each other. I was trying to be popular more, like, in junior high and elementary school and dealt with all that backstabbing and drama.
Lili Simmons
251
Just getting young kids excited about hockey, then they’ll want to skate, they’ll want to start joining junior leagues, they’ll want to play in high school, etc., so we’re trying to expand at all levels. That’s good for the sport, and it’s good for the Ducks long term.
252
We are already expected to be the goodie two shoes. I went through that during my junior high schools where I wasn’t allowed to watch television. I wasn’t allowed to listen to the radio.
253
In 2001, ’02, and ’03, our forward line had Gagan Ajit, Prabhjot, Deepak, who were playing together since junior days. Their coordination was terrific.
254
I loved junior golf.
Nancy Lopez
255
I moved to New York between my junior and senior years of high school to just see what it was like, to go to a modeling agency and see how to get representation.
Teri Polo
256
When I was 10, I went to the Junior Olympics for the 50-meter and 100-meter breaststroke.
257
Peter Wagner, my son, just won the Bel-Air Junior Club Championship. Parred the last three holes. One-putts, up and down. Us Wagners don’t hit greens. We chip and putt.
Jack Wagner
258
I willed myself through a junior college to a university and, ultimately, a Ph.D.
259
When I won gold medals in both the 200m and 400m events at the 1958 Asian Games, the then chief of army staff, General K.S. Thimayya, announced my promotion as a junior commissioned officer.
260
I wanted to be a classical actress. I plodded along. I went to junior college in San Francisco, I was in a Repertory Company. My hero was Eva Le Gallienne, who was a great theater actress at the turn of the century who created her own company, and she wrote these hilarious autobiographies at the time.
261
There’s nobody better than me, especially Junior Dos Santos.
262
When all the girls were getting all made up and getting into all that girl stuff in junior high I was out playing softball or touch football with the guys.
263
I was a science student in junior college, but I knew I wouldn’t pursue a career in the field.
264
I have a black belt and used to compete when I was a kid! I did the Junior Olympics.
265
I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I’m like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.
266
I used to trapshoot. I was actually a junior national champion. My parents are trapshooters, so I’m more into target stuff.
Greg LeMond
267
When I was in fifth grade, there were many girls who were good at math, but when I was in junior high school, I was taking intermediate algebra and I looked around the class and realized I was the only girl.
Judith Love Cohen
268
I love sports – I used to play volleyball really competitively…I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers, and I’ve ridden horses my whole life.
269
As far as working against Finn Balor, I always idolized him. I looked up to him. When I was in Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling, he came to Dragon Gate, and was the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
270
So when I told my parents I wanted to go into acting because I was flunking out of my first year of junior college, they were relieved that I had picked something other than joining the army. But I can’t imagine how they had high hopes for me.
271
I don’t know how much time I have left, and there are certain things I’d like to do. I’ve got five kids. Kacy, the oldest, I’d like to see her be happy and fulfilled with her dreams. I want Junior, who gave me the two transplants, I want him to find his niche; I know he’s going to make a very big impact someday.
272
I played football and ran track in junior high, but by high school I was getting serious about my studies.
George Smoot
273
I always liked ‘The Last American Hero,’ the one about Junior Johnson with Jeff Bridges in it.
274
When I was young, I wanted to be like the rappers. I remember being in junior high and wanting a fisherman hat and a link because EPMD had one. I wanted to wear Adidas because Run-DMC wore Adidas. As I came into my own, I just wanted to do me.
275
I think it’s bad in a way for junior players and college players to feel they must be number one.
276
I think that the first book that made me think that I could try to be a writer – or that made me aware that a young black woman from the South could write about the South – was Alice Walker’s ‘The Color Purple,’ which I read for the first time when I was in junior high.
277
In junior high school, I was an object of pure ridicule for my dress, withdrawal, and asocial manner. Dozens of times, I saw individuals laugh and smile more in ten to fifteen minutes than I did in all my life up to then.
Arthur Bremer
278
I had a set schedule since I was 15, since I started playing junior hockey. When you don’t have that sometimes you try to find something new and it’s difficult.
279
I took an acting class at Cerritos Junior College and I did a handful of plays, maybe five or six plays.
280
I actually had a buzz cut all the way to my junior year in college. I would just buzz my head with a one-guard all over, and then I started growing it out. When I had Tommy John, that was the last time it was buzzed. I’ve grown it ever since then.
281
Yeah, we held a junior carp tournament on the St. Lawrence River in New York last August. I hosted that along with a couple of other people.
282
Nowadays, of course, flesh peddlers and scouting services identify the best athletes when they are still in junior high. Prospects are not allowed to sneak up on us.
283
I’ve won midget championships, a junior-league title, two World Junior Championships and some other minor-hockey championships, but I don’t think teams win because I’m on them.
284
In the first English class I attended, Prof. E. H. Elliot, addressing me, asked if I really belonged to the Junior B. A. class, and I had to answer him in the affirmative. He then proceeded to inquire how old I was.
285
When I was four or five, I had an older brother who got paralyzed from the neck down in junior high school. Some kid did a wrestling fall on him and hit his spine. We had to take care of him. I went from being the baby to not really being the baby anymore.
286
A family may be ruined by extravagance, but it is not always through ruin that the representatives in a family are to be found in humble or comparatively humble circumstances, but that the junior members of a gentle family went into trade.
287
I never went to drama school, but I was really lucky in that both my junior school and secondary school had brilliant drama departments.
288
I’ve been writing since I’m five years old. I’ve been writing books since high school – junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I’d be published.
289
I played a little football when I was really young, but I didn’t start until my junior year. My cousin, who was a big influence in my athletic career over time, said you should go out for receiver. I said let’s give it a shot. I went out and played a little and caught a couple balls over a couple dudes heads.
290
Over the years, I’ve learnt from co-actors, directors, technicians, and even from junior artists.
291
I never did pageants as a kid, but when I got into high school, I did a couple that were tied to a sort of all-around academic student achievement program, something akin to Junior Miss, but not Junior Miss.
292
In the second half of primary school, I liked live-action shows and giant-monster movies, and then in junior high, I got into regular movies.
293
My interest in science started in junior high school where an outstanding science teacher, Mrs. Baumgardner, introduced me to the joys of science.
Robert H. Grubbs
294
In junior high school, I had this singing group called The Halsey Trio. We would sing songs by The Temptations at school assemblies, so I figured I could do something like that again.
295
When I was a junior camp counselor and it was my job to tell the campers a bedtime story or devotional, I would tell them a rapture story.
296
At University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I was one of the first Blacks there. I didn’t go to a Black school until my junior year of college, when I went to Fisk University.
297
I was so involved in the regular joy of school that I didn’t do any plays. On a dare, I auditioned for ‘South Pacific‘ my junior year. I showed up at the last minute to the audition and ended up getting cast as the lead. I haven‘t turned back since then.
298
I studied engineering at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, and between my junior and senior years I actually joined the Navy, while I was still in college.
299
I finished my junior year of high school and flew out to Los Angeles. I didn’t know the difference between a manager and an agent. But I got here and just started hustling and meeting anyone I could.
300
Coming all the way from one scholarship offer, you know, Coach Bohl and Coach Vigen, they believed in me when I came out of junior college.
301
On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven’t arrived yet and bring me back to reality.
Candace Parker
302
PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I’ve had on a golf course.
303
My father gave me Dostoevsky’s ‘Crime and Punishment‘ when I was in junior high; my junior high, angst-filled soul responded to that.
304
I wore a woman’s antique fur jacket to my high school junior prom.
305
I remember once in junior high school, on a Friday, my mom came home from work and said to my brother and I, ‘You know, between us, we have only 27 cents, but we have food in the refrigerator, we have our little garden out back, and we’re happy, so we are rich.’
306
My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America’s Most Wanted.
Yancy Butler
307
I started off as a juggler. I used to do a half-hour show on the weekends to make money as a kid. Then I went to Cleveland, Ohio in 1983 to the international jugglers competition junior division and came second. So that was my first job, being a juggler.
308
I played Little League in junior high and high school.
309
My co-founder Dylan Smith and I left our junior year of college to move to the Bay Area. To the horror of our friends’ parents, we actually had two other friends drop out of college to work on the product. The four of us were just working non-stop growing Box.
310
I was taking electives, and that branched into theater. Theater led to me taking a break during the summer between my junior and senior year. After I graduated, I ended up moving out to L.A. But in my senior year, I made it a part of my major.
Wes Brown
311
I am wrestling with the overalls trend. I wore so many pairs in junior high, and no one thought they were cute. Perhaps I’ll try them cuffed with a tasteful crop top?
312
Charities should not become the junior partner in the welfare state; whether or not they provide services funded by Government or, indeed, receive grants from Government, they must remain independent and focused on their mission.
William Shawcross
313
Often, people wonder if she can give the time required at work, given also her responsibilities at home. So a woman has to prove her worth over and over again each time she’s given a new responsibility, especially when she is at junior to mid-level positions.
314
In junior high, I really wanted to be popular. Suddenly there were parties with boys, and I wanted to be part of that. There was a group of girls, and I wanted to be friends with them.
315
I was painfully shy, and I had tremendous difficulty making friends. So, lacking friends, I watched other people. Watching is something all writers must do, and it was in junior high that I learned to do it.
Alex Flinn
316
I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was ‘dyslexic.’
317
I completely disagree if someone says that corruption of junior government officers should be overlooked.
318
I never went to a high school prom. I went to a junior high prom, but I never had the high school prom. It was all fake and on TV.
319
My success has a lot to do with Mischa. He was the one who always used to practise with me when I was little, when I was a junior.
320
I did science at the junior college level but switched to a bachelor‘s in mass media at MMK College, Bandra.
321
We would take a little bit of money out of a huge increase in ballistic missile defense and put it in a place where it will do a lot of good, namely, in targeted pay increases to our enlisted personnel, particularly our NCOs and our junior warrant officers.
322
When I first met Salman Butt, he was a senior player, and he was a star for Pakistan, and I was a junior, but he had a very good image amongst the juniors. It wasn’t that he was only nice to me: he was close to all the juniors, cracking jokes and socialising with them and being pleasant to them.
323
In junior high, when we got our first VCR, I used to tape four soaps a day. I was a diehard ‘General Hospital‘ fan from when I was nine to 25.
324
Without the AJGA, it would be very difficult for the college coaches to find us. Every junior golfer around the country knows about the AJGA and knows that’s the way to get to college. And the way to get beyond college.
325
When I was a kid in junior high, I had an assignment to discuss how to rescue poor people in India. I remember my teacher at the time considered it an impossible problem. Now, we’re not talking that way anymore. We’re sure not talking about that for China. They’re rescuing themselves thanks to globalization.
326
I actually built a tiny computer as a junior high school project.
327
I went to public school up until junior high.

I told everyone through high school and junior High I guarantee by time 24, I’ll be signed with WWE, and that’s exactly what happened. I didn’t go on to main even WrestleMania obviously, but the whole WWE accomplishment was checked off, and I got to experience that and it’s cool.

There was no theater program or anything where I’m from. So junior year in high school I started the theater program.

From my freshman year to my junior year, I’ve increased my receptions every year.

When you look at guys who get recruited, most of the best athletes, they come from poor families. I don’t forget. I was a junior looking through my mother’s stuff and looked at her bank statement, and we had $30 in the bank.

As much as I loved Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Junior Gilliam, and Don Newcombe, I loved watching Willie Mays play more than all of them combined, even if he played for the ‘bad guys!’
333
Following my junior year in high school, I went on a camping trip through Russia in a group led by Horst Momber, a young language teacher from Roosevelt.
334
After college, I really looked at every single shot that I shot. Pretty much every shot in my sophomore year and my junior year and just watched my form. I watched how I shot it from 3, and I just noticed I was a very undisciplined shooter.
335
My first show in high school was ‘The Music Man.’ I was a junior. I played Harold Hill. I did the role at the University of Miami, too. I do love that musical. To do it in high school and college and then to do it professionally – I mean, come on!
336
I’m the best Crusierweight, X Division, Junior Heavyweight wrestler whatever you want to call it.
337
I went from being a junior – and probably set to be Kushida’s arch-nemesis until the cows came home – to suddenly being vaulted into the heavyweight title picture for the Intercontinental championship. That taught me a lesson: I couldn’t put a limit on myself.

I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that’s where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school.
339
In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, ‘Me? You’ve got to be joking!’ I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math.

I didn’t dream about being a director. I didn’t know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.

An employee, even a very junior person, if they can articulately summarize a meeting, if they can put together a presentation and even emails that are really salient and to the point, they are so valued.
342
I was born in Africa but brought up in the north-east of England. Most of my childhood was spent living on a council estate that overlooked the Tyne and I went to the same junior school as Paul Gascoigne, of whom I have a vague memory.
343
I have the most profound respect for the Department of Justice and the FTC. We in Europe are a younger and I would say junior institution to the historical antitrust experience of the US.

‘Harjeeta’ is a film based on the inspiring story of a sportsman, grappling with life’s struggles, and surviving against all odds and managing to end the nation’s 15-year-old drought in the Junior Championship by lifting the coveted trophy.
