Becoming Your Best Self Jaycee McCarthy’s journey of self-discovery “Everything you do changes what you are on the inside.” 14 COLBY-SAWYER ALUMNI MAGAZINE –Jaycee McCarthy ’11
By Michael Clark PHOTO: Ed Germar Jaycee McCarthy played the ridiculously self-absorbed King Gorgeous III in a sweet and funny production of “The Enchanted Pig,” directed by Julie Vogt and performed in February 2011. The production included dancing and singing by young students from the Windy Hill School, who were costumed as little pigs and princesses. On stage with the king are (at left) Dan Moir ‘11 as the Prince from the West and Suzanna Brown ’11 as Princess Wonda, and (at right) Kayleigh Flynn ’11 as Princess Gonda and Andrew Francis ’11 as the Prince from the East. Shortly before graduating on May 7, Jaycee McCarthy ’11, a Communications Studies major from Salisbury, Mass., arrives for this interview after his last final, visibly tired but attentive. He sits up straight at the chair’s edge, words tumbling out before his brain has a chance to catch up. What did you want to get out of your college experience? I chose a small school so that I could get involved in a lot of things. I hoped I would continue as a leader and grow as a student and person. I think I achieved those goals. Can you list everything you’ve been involved with here on campus? I was president of three organizations this year—the Class of 2011; a theater club called the CSC Players; and the Campus Activities Board (CAB). I also mentored at the elementary school down the street, worked in Admissions, and was a member of Alpha Chi and Lambda Pi Eta honor societies. I also did the (college) theater shows, which is different from the theater club. Why so involved? What drives you? Jaycee laughs and then sighs, settling more comfortably into the chair. I like being involved and organizing things. I enjoy education and teaching others, helping other people, and I think that’s a big part of leadership. The clubs I’m involved with aren’t academic—they’re more like interests, so it’s a great opportunity for me to teach what I’ve learned inside and outside the classroom to others who don’t necessarily have the opportunity to enroll in the same classes or programming or theater.
