achieve, to compete, to be an individual More than 1800 faces are at Hammond Tech, each reflecting a different student. Each reflecting today ' s youth. What is the story their faces portray? A struggle to achieve, to compete, to be an individual. Yes, to be an individual. The youth asks: What is my purpose? Which goals should I set? Where do I belong? And they answer: Only I can determine this, and I will be myself, for I am an individual. Change also reflects today ' s youth, as well as adults of this generation.

As youth in general changes, they must also face the transition from youth to adult.
