“I was a reasonably good student in college ... My chief interests were scientific. When I entered college, I was devoted to out-of-doors natural history, and my ambition was to be a scientific man of the Audubon, or Wilson, or Baird, or Coues type-a man like Hart Merriam, or Frank Chapman, or Hornaday, to-day.” MenScienceInterestNaturalDoorsStudentsCollegeTypeAmbitionChiefsFrankDevotedMy AmbitionWilsonNatural HistoryGood StudentsHart Book:Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt Source: Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt

“Pretty much at the age of 16, I realized acting wasn't going to be the vocation for me...too political not enough creative control. But I loved the craft and my father wanted me to get a college degree. Seemed natural to study what I loved and Marymount Manhattan has a wonderful theatre program, I highly recommend it! A lot of what I learned there I apply to my comicbook writing and pacing.” WritingEnoughAgeWantedPoliticalFatherNaturalActingCreativeStudyWonderfulCollegeDegreesProgramTheatreI RealizedCraftsVocationManhattanPacingCollege Degree Author:Holly Golightly
