Age: 28
Nicknames: Mr. Webster, Brad, Webs, "B-Webs"

Bio: Mr. Webster was born with a rare genetic condition called Cystic Fibrosis, which affects the lungs and other internal organs. This condition has caused him to undergo multiple surgeries, including one to remove half his lung when he got an infection at age 15. His life is filled with his treatments, which include inhalers, nebulizers, and 60 pills a day just to get by. The condition does mean that sometimes he is out of work, but he has every years curriculum set up in case anything happens. His body has a hard time handling food, so in order to maintain his weight he painstakingly eats over 10,000 calories a day.
Aside from this, he is a happy and dorky person with almost no shame whatsoever. This plays into his teaching very much, and he gets very excited and bouncy when he talks about the things he loves. Students always talk about how they've never seen him frown or get angry. He is the type to start singing in the hallways on a monday when everyone else is groggy and slow to wake up, and the cheeriness is almost contagious.
One thing he never mentions is that his CF has almost killed him, and that he has been told by various sources that he won't make it past 35 and this makes him furious. Who had the right to tell him for how long he was going to live?
Despite his generally positive outlook, Bradley doesn't forget his own mortality. His older sister was born with the same condition and she died at age 15. He doesn't talk much about the incident, but he was the one who watched her die when he was only 9.
Though the even haunts him, he thinks about how he's going to make the most of his life, by helping people. He devotes almost all his time to helping his students to the best they can, even if they've given up on themselves.
He is usually seen in his classroom or helping his students in the study hall.
Likes: Fruit, books, classical music
Dislikes: Meanness, the smell of smoke (even if its really far away he complains about it), sloppy handwriting.
