Jimmie McCloud

Fivefoot nine. 115 pounds. Kicker on the football team. Team captain of the fútbol team. Menace. Jimmie McCloud is a big man with big goals, but also someone who appreciates the little things in life. Simple pleasures like talking to his friends during the weekends, being a leader on the soccer team, or reminding his little brothers, Cameron and Scott, to keep out of trouble will always be better than loud parties or big events for someone like Mr. McCloud. He lives by the motto “treat others how you would like to be treated.” One time, during the soccer season, Jeremy Tolmochow and Nick Grobler were struggling with dribbling. Jimmie remembered the difficulty of his first soccer season at Webb and how his team helped him get on his feet. Showing his dedication to the team and his teammates, he taught them some helpful tricks on and off the field for weeks on end. Continuing with this enthusiasm, he later helped new incoming players. Through fútbol, Jimmie discovered a profound sense of responsibility and enjoyment in helping others feel the stability he was once given. To this day, Jimmie’s loquacious nature on the field and warmhearted character off the field make him a joy to be with and an easy friend to laugh with. Jimmie claims he does not want his brothers to be like him in the future, but in reality, everyone should embrace their inner Jimmie and bring out the menace!

Jimmie, although peculiar sometimes, helps me get through my days at Webb. I will miss him dearly.
