Jacob Receives the William and Mary Leadership Book Award

Warren presented Jacob M with the 2021 William and Mary Leadership book award. Here is why he was chosen for this honor:

Leadership comes in many different forms. And often, we are unaware that we are being a good leader. Being a role-model, and helping your peers to succeed as well, takes a willingness to fail, to be ready at the drop of a hat to stick your neck out there, and then to improve based on those experiences. Jacob, your improving test skills are testament to that. At CHS, you’ve proven to be an amazing school ambassador as an Orientation Leader three years running. And you’ve been a core member of role-playing club, a font of wit in critiques of visual art, and, well, just relentlessly you.

Please, stay that way. And please begin a Sponge Bob and Spam appreciation society in your adult life.

And I’ll leave you all with a quote from Vonnegut, an author whose Martinian sense of humor Jacob never fails to mention in my classes.

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”

Congratulations, Jacob!
