Until You Try — SOPHOC LES The essence of any learning, especially learning about ourselves, is personal experience. Perhaps, an ideally developed person would know himself well enough to predict with some certainty his reactions to any situation. To progressively strive for this ideal entails experiencing new situations. When ex- periencing a situation from which he gains self- knowledge, a person becomes wholly engrossed in the situation and completely forgets himself. With- out such immersion and such self-release in a situa- tion, a person does not allow himself to act spon- taneously, He does not allow himself to be himself; therefore, he does not further his self-knowledge. West Mecklenburg provides a host of new ex- periences for each high school student; it challenges each student to lose himself in many activities in order that he may find himself.
