Via Alexander Russo: "The scene is Menlo Park's Belle Haven Community School. The principal introduces him as Zuckerman. The theme is not taking shortcuts and doing things you love and having fun (Mark Zuckerberg to 8th Graders via Gawker)." I remember my eighth grade graduation very clearly. I won two awards (public speaking and chess) and just missed out on a couple more. Mrs. lewis, my grade five teacher, introduced me by recollecting that I had once said I want to read every book in the library, and then attempted to do so in her math class! It's funny that I was constantly getting in trouble for reading in class, in retrospect. Anyhow, it's funny listening to multi-billionaire Zuckerman trying to talk over the wail of children's voices in the background.
