The first song I wrote, in fifth grade, was totally ripped from Jeffrey Lewis. My aunt's boyfriend gave me bass lessons, and I played drums for a year in sixth grade. Around seventh grade, I got a guitar and forgot everything else.

Frankie Cosmos

I almost flunked first grade and also the second, third, forth, and fifth; but my younger brother was in the grade behind me and he was a brain and nobody wanted to have me be in the same grade as him, so they kept passing me. I never learned how to spell, graduated from eighth grade counting on my fingers to do simple addition, and in general was not a resounding academic success.

Robert Munsch

I did my first play in fifth grade. This same fifth grade teacher asked me several years later what I wanted to do when I grew up. I knew the most fun I'd had was doing the play in her class, so when I told her that, she began to take me to local theater auditions and became my mentor and friend, and to this day continues to be.

Heather Hemmens

Matt Bonner. That's the legend right there. I was in fifth grade and watched him play at our local high school. Sold out. It was incredible.

Duncan Robinson

I want to be in fifth grade again. Now, that is a deep dark secret, almost as big as the other one. Fifth grade was easy -- old enough to play outside without Mom, too young to go off the block. The perfect leash length.

Laurie Halse Anderson

The first time I began to really think about politics was in fifth grade, during President Reagan's first term.

Ben Sasse

My mom actually taught fifth grade, so... I'm good with fifth graders. That's, like, my specialty.

Zendaya

I loved school. But when I started 'Party of Five' in the fifth grade, I was taken out of school and tutored on the set.

Lacey Chabert

I was a paper boy, beginning the summer between my fourth-grade and fifth-grade years.

David Boies

I was made fun of for being fat from fourth or fifth grade to eighth grade. That was pretty rough.

Ari Graynor

I'd love to go back and teach primary school. I used to teach fourth grade and fifth grade. I'd love to spend several years teaching kindergarten or maybe third grade.

Jonathan Kozol

I feel like you learn how to do school in second grade through fifth grade. During those years, I was never home.

Dakota Johnson

I wrote my first book in fifth grade. It was about a dog that goes to outer space and is an ambassador for Earth.

Josh Malerman

Fifteen dollar too beaucoup. Five dollars each... Five dollars is all my mom allows me to spend.

Matthew Modine

Everybody either wanted to take care of me or push me around, you know? I was teased a lot, sure I was, of course. Fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, everybody was taking their spurts except me. I was not growing up.
