Anyone who has ever heard me say "I just want to go home" knows how much my family means to me. Mom, Pop, you all have always been there whenIneededyou,andespeciallywhenIthoughtIdidn't. Thankyoufor letting me figure out my own way of getting through things, but thank you more for helping me when I failed miserably. Becca, thank you for letting me be your big sister. You always made sure I didn't take things too seriously, and I don't know how I would have made it through the past four years if you hadn't. Most importantly though, thank you for not rubbing it in my face how much smarter than me you are, life is hard enough without having to ask your little sister for help on English homework (or Latin homework, or science homework .. .). As much as my family has helped me, my friends have helped me even more. You all have been my second family. To my friends that left me (you know who you are), thank you for leaving. Without that push, I never would have become the person I am now. To my friends that have stayed with me (and those who have just recently come into my life), thank you all. You allaresomuchfunandIwouldhavebeenlostwithoutyou. Ireallywantto thank TM, JV, MK, BB, MMB, RLR, FB, SO, SB, CH, SF, CC, LC, and SW. You all have always been there for me and I've loved every minute of it. Thank you for helping me find my way. To all my senior friends, we're going to have a blastnextyear!

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness; happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination," -John Philip Sousa
"The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from the old ones." -John Maynard Keynes
"What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you" -Seneca

First and foremost I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to be at Virginia Episcopal School. You have done so many things for me in my life and I thank you sincerely. Mr. McCormick, you have made my experience at VES memorable and you have helped me through four important years of high school. Mrs. Grabeel, you have helped me learn and understand the art of music and you have given me something to take with me the rest of my life. You are a truly remarkable woman as well as a very talented musician and I thank you. Mr. Hight, Mr. Huffman, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Winston and Mrs. Cecil, you have also made my experience at VES one that I will always remember. Thank you Sutton for paving the road for me at VES. I cannot wait to continue to build our friendship next year at Hampden· Sydney. Collin, good luck to you and your friends (MM, AF, DH) and thank you, Collin, for always being a good brother. Thank you Andy and Will for being my best friends and always being there for me. The VES gang: MD,AF,WR,MS,EJ,FW,HV,SO,CG,HH,CD,ML,AH,WB,BP,TJ,ST. The E.C. Glass gang:
