As kids all over America head back to school, Broadway.com decided to ask our favorite Broadway stars to look back at their own years in the classroom, sharing memories of favorite subjects and activities and describing their younger selves. On stage Patrick Page is tormenting New York City and the famed title web-slinger of Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark as boisterous villain the Green Goblin, but Page reveals he was once just a shy kid afraid to ask out the pretty Mary Jane Watsons of his class. Take a look at Page's school reflections below!

Fall clothes.

What class did you dread and why?
Math because I convinced myself I had no aptitude for it.

Speech, debate, drama and magic.

Afraid to fail.
