Sarah Balanza

Coming from Claremont, Sarah Balanza quickly found her place at Webb. With her tight-knit group of friends, a few supportive sports teams, and a passion for drawing and art, she has always been one to pave her own path. Sarah is the type of person to run around outside on a rainy, windy day with her friends and refuse to go back inside because she can and she has. Other than being the school’s number one supplier of wet socks, a large part of Sarah’s legacy at Webb lies in her art, whether it was presented to the public or withheld from its showcase for being “too graphic,” like her favorite piece was. As Webb leaves her foreground and a new venture replaces it, Sarah will miss the tennis and badminton teams, as well as Dr. Greco’s art class. Sarah’s next venture will include studying Sociology and Psychology at Pitzer College. 

One time Sarah texted me panicked with a picture of her sandwich that said, ‘Spot On!’ She was confused as to why that phrase appeared on her meal. She continuously asked ME to explain even though I have no familiarity with the sandwich. In a moment of revelation, I asked, ‘where did you order the sandwich?’ She replied… ‘The Spot.’ Aha! I thought. ‘Now, what’s the name of the sandwich’… a pause. She finally replied meekly, ‘Spot On Panini’. The mystery was solved. It was very funny.
