Lawrence Mao

As a deep and brilliant thinker, Lawrence Mao is extremely passionate about programming. He competes in robotics competitions while enrolled in higher-level computer science classes at Harvey Mudd College. However, he still takes time to appreciate the simple things around him. Lawrence enjoys being a part of a team and working with like-minded people; it is the reason he has enjoyed his time with badminton, Theme Week, robotics, his friends, and Student Government as WSC senior class vice-president. Lawrence’s favorite Webb memory was seeing a teacher walk into the dining hall, inspect the food, and leave. He likes this story because of how clearly it illustrated the human aspect of Webb teachers, in contrast to the disciplinary figures his old teachers represented. Lawrence plays clarinet in the orchestra and is co-head of the Piano Club. After reflecting on all his time at Webb, he would advise his past self to reach out and explore more. He will take this advice with him next year at Johns Hopkins University.
