In the spring of 2007, The Gregory Weber Lang Honor Scholarship will be given annually to
a graduating Gulf Coast High School senior. The first senior to receive the award from
Gregory Weber Lang’s graduating class of 2007 will display a remarkable, optimistic and
personal spirit while coping with a life altering challenge. Despite hardships, the student
must maintain a positive attitude for future and the challenges that may occur. This
behavior can be displayed through personal dedication, motivation, and perseverance.
This special student should be a beacon of respect and courage to peers, family, friends
and the faculty at Gulf Coast High School.
The Gregory Weber Lang scholarship is being funded by his family and friends who have
admired him throughout his life. At the age of 3 Gregory was diagnosed with muscle
cancer and fought bravely for virtually a year of chemotherapy. Due to the battle with
muscle cancer, Gregory, at the young age of 4 was to continue life as a right leg amputee.
In the fall of 2006, Gregory’s junior year at Gulf Coast High School, he was diagnosed with
stage IV colon cancer. After multiple surgeries and chemotherapy Gregory was
pronounced in remission in July 2006. This was a positive time in Gregory’s life because
he returned to Gulf Coast High School and joined his fellow seniors. Once he returned to
school, his main focus was graduation in May, 2007. In January, 2007 the doctors
discovered cancer in Gregory’s body again. Gregory is now faced with a reality that no child
is ever prepared to handle. He has been told that his condition is terminal and his life with
us will not be as long as desired. Gregory Weber Lang has been given 6 months to live.
Despite the difficulties and overwhelming challenges that have plagued Gregory’s life, he
has proven to be an amazing individual with a remarkable character.
Through every challenge, Gregory has retained a strong, positive attitude with a bright,
warm smile on his face. He has never fallen victim to negativity and continues to appreciate
life! Such appreciation for life can only be achieved by one who has experienced a life
altering strain. The Gregory Weber Lang Scholarship intends to honor Gregory and all
those who share his courage, perseverance, and spirit.
The first recipient of the Gregory Weber Lang Honor Scholarship will be personally chosen
by Gregory Weber Lang. It is Gregory’s wish that his mother and sister choose the recipient
for every subsequent year because they are the people in Gregory’s life who know his
character best.
