why Wooster
About Self Help:
There is no substitute for our Self Help tradition. I took pride with my everyday duties at Wooster and when I became Senior Prefect, I knew every job inside and out. We had to pull our weight around campus, in spite of our social economic status. The experience humbled me and made me a better leader.
I teach orchestra in a public school and many of my kids do not lift a hand at home and are not held accountable. They expect things to be handed to them-I guess it's a generation issue as well. In Wooster, we did what was expected of any decent human being - no more, no less and we did it well.

About Self Help:
My funniest memories include the first time I got to run the floor waxer and it took off like a rocket! The other story was begging the headwaiter (when I was assigned to wait tables) to let me have Coach Warner's table because (at age 14) I was in love with his youngest daughter and they occasionally came for dinner.
1 other - as I ran the dishwasher at a church dinner this past week it also occurred to me that I had done that many times before.
Regardless of politics, it's a great idea!

About Self Help:
I am sure at the time we had “favorite” jobs…not that we were all that excited to be cleaning toilets and sweeping stairs…but 2 years after I graduated from Wooster, while on a hiatus from college I found myself on “KP” for my rich Uncle Sam, from 0330 hrs (referred to as oh-dark-thirty!) until on many occasions, 1930 hrs having feed 4 meals to 4500 recruits – I’ll bet there were as many pots to scrub as there were dishes to run through the dishwasher at Wooster. I look back on the experience at Wooster and must say I never have had a problem jumping in at church or a business meeting / trade show and just doing what no one else wants to do…thanks Wooster! The Wooster self-help system is the anti-entitlement program that has been around for over 85 years – proud to have been part of it!
