Lot Essay

I had a lot of fun at Shattuck along with much anguish and sometimes loneliness. I did my best to tear the school apart and not get caught at it. I wanted to destroy the place. I hated authority and did everything I could to defeat it by resisting, subverting it, tricking it and outmaneuvering it... Still I have wonderful, warm memoraies of breaking the rules - of pranks, high jinks, teasing the masters and assorted silliness that almost made being there worth it.
