My freshman year at Harrison High School, I saw a journalism class where students were putting out a weekly newspaper. It touched a responsive chord in me.

My freshman year of high school was just awkwardness all around.

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

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.

I was a total theater geek in high school, no question. I was cast in 'Godspell' freshman year - with Vanessa Williams, by the way. She and I are still friends. We went to high school together.
