Sean Hall:  

School I, literally, made my parents move after 9th grade so I could go to Yorktown and its music program. I would have gone to W-L otherwise; their music program was horrible at the time. Yorktown was a great high school; the best move my parents--and I--ever made. College Coasted through American University. Too busy working and gigging. Barely finished. I knew what I wanted to do with my life and was already doing it. College was more a social than academic experience. A-U, expensive as it was/is, was disappointing in terms of motivation, outside of parties and rich girls with full-size refrigerators in their dorm rooms. If I had college to do over again, I probably would have gone to a state school, joined a frat and majored in Sociology. Don't get me wrong; go to college if you can. It just wasn't for me.
