Mark Feuerstein Quotes

My freshman year of high school I joined the chess and math clubs.

I'm trying to see, in high school or college, I've never been like, 'Rah! Rah!' kind of guy. It's always been just, 'All right.'

I really focused on three things in high school - my company, basketball and my school work.

I was a huge nerd in high school. Sure, I socialized - but I was definitely a nerd.

I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and went to a big high school called Douglas McArthur where there was a lot of track and a lot of football. It was a bit like 'Friday Night Lights.' I used to spend a lot of time at the track.

When I was in school, I was very involved with a lot of things. I was very very active. I couldn't say that I wasn't popular. I was a cheerleader when I was in junior high. I didn't make it in high school so I started a dance line.

I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.

I went to school every day, like everyone else, and I played baseball for my high school team. I was a part of a lot of different activities outside of school.

I took high school very casually. There was Teen Town, chess, tennis, boxing, running. Lots of things going on.

I loved school. Not sure how much I focused on the education; just had fun and played lacrosse for seven years. It was lucky I had sport, which I was good at, so it didn't matter that I wasn't great on the academic side, or not brilliant at drama. Although I am still bitter about not being in the school choir. Furious, actually.

I was a busy kid in high school - a little bit of an overachiever, I guess. Prom king was kind of silly, but the rest of the stuff was important to me.

They used to call me 'Touchdown T.' I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, 'I'm going to run for three touchdowns.' I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

I was a cheerleader in high school, but I love to play basketball.

My interests were more extracurricular, more external, and more social than they were academic. My birthday is also in December, so I was one of the older kids.

I was a geek in high school.

As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

I was involved in a bunch of school activities - I was a cheerleader, I was on the chess team, I was vice president of my class.

I never really loved school through junior high, but then I started running track my freshman year, and I was just like, 'Wow, this is cool!'

I was not a jock in high school. I know, you're shocked.
