Alysha Davis, a senior at Wallenpaupack, is a prime example of a creative and involved student. She is academically driven while also taking part in many extracurricular activities, including Aevidum, the leadership team, and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). This past year, through FCCLA, she attended a conference at Kalahari, where she achieved one of her proudest achievements—earning a gold medal and placing first in her event.
She shared that while she was beyond happy to receive the award, she also felt disappointed knowing it marked the end of that chapter. Her advice to underclassmen is to get involved in as much as possible early on. She says, “…try everything our school has to offer while you can during your time in Paupack… I regret not getting involved sooner.”
Alysha is also very musically inclined. She talks about some of her favorite high school memories, like the Homecoming and Semi-Formal dances, where it is easy to have a good time with friends while enjoying fun music. Although she found it difficult to choose just one favorite memory, she ultimately chose this because it captures the kind of moments that make high school memorable.
Throughout high school, Alysha’s biggest inspiration has been her parents, whose constant support has meant everything to her. She admires their resilience and strong work ethic and strives to apply those same qualities to her everyday life and academic career.
With these qualities guiding her, Alysha plans to attend Bucks County Community College to pursue Diagnostic Medical Sonography. She also hopes to move to Philadelphia, where she can find an apartment and continue working toward her goals.
As she prepares to leave Wallenpaupack and begin a new chapter in Philadelphia, Alysha hopes to be remembered for her creativity and problem-solving skills—and with all she has already accomplished, she undoubtedly will be.
We wish Alysha the best in her creative and promising future!
