When I came to Webb four years ago, I came with the intent of sticking it out whether I liked it or not. I hadn't wanted to go to Webb, but to McCallie. I didn't want to follow a family tradition. I wanted to go to a school where I could be the one to establish myself. But I chose to go to Webb anyway for it would be a challenge. I I P You have not converted a man because you have silenced him. --John Morley ,way You're the bait and you're the hook -- someone's bound to take a look. --Aerosmith When I arrived I found that I had been placed immediately in the same category as some other members of my family. People's impressions of me were determined as soon as they heard my name. But I was myself and no one else. It became hard for me to fight these preconceived ideas -- and I contemplated leaving. But I couldn't and wouldn't run because I knew that this must be part of growing up and part of life . I had to stand up for myself and change their ideas , which I finally did, I think. I became someone that I could be proud of. Through this achievement I gained self-knowledge because I was forced to come to terms with myself. Having to do this and being successful brought about a sense of confidence, which is necessary to further success and happiness for anyone. Webb became my home, and for the past four years it has been the very nucleus of my life. Webb has taught me, disciplined me, entertained me, and loved me. But most of all, through its students, faculty, and staff, Webb has prepared me for life. I feel I am prepared to face the expected and unexpected pressures and events one will inevitably confront in life. I have seen hypocrisy, cynicism, greed, struggle for power, loss of power, conceit, happiness, depression, sadness, success, failure, hatred, and love. Finally, Webb has taught me to believe in myself and to be confident and strong enough to stand up for what I believe in. Only Webb could have given me all this in such a short time. Webb is an adventure which grows on you and can only be totally understood through becoming a part of its family. I will never forget the people and happenings at Webb which have molded my personality and character and I thank each one of them for all they have done! Mr. Lagler fHerr Dickmannj, the soccer teams, Mr. Shachmut fl-llj, Mr. Heffner, Kendall TIPS Hayes, Tom Green, Don, Freddie, Buck, Earthworm, Link, Karen, Amy, Liz, Katharine G., and the seniors as a whole. Thanks, Webb. When you do a thing because you have determined that it ought to be done, never avoid being seen doing it, even if the opinion of the multitude is going to condemn you. For if your action is wrong, then avoid doing it altogether, but if it is right, why do you fear those who will rebuke you wrongly? - - Epictetus Slump and the world slumps with you -- push and you push alone. --The Peter Principle
