Alexandra Davidson is a senior at Flour Bluff High School, which is part of the same district she’s been attending her entire life. She is devoted to being an outstanding student, with school spirit, strong grades, and demanding extracurriculars.
Davidson plays a major role in the Flour Bluff NJROTC program, and she is one of the few cadets who competed in the National High School Drill Team Championship in Daytona Beach, Florida. At this competition, the drill team, the Sea Devils, was awarded first place, the team she now commands.
“Standing up and being surrounded by my team and my mom,” Davidson said.
Davidson shows that winning isn’t all about the trophy, it’s about accomplishing a goal with your team and the people you love.
“Winning nationals last year and standing up and being surrounded by my team, and my mom, and everyone just feels like all the work we put in was worth it, and we achieved what we set out to do,” Davidson said.
Davidson stays motivated by remembering a quote her coach, Chief Wilson, says to her every day: “Do it, do it now.” The quote reminds Davidson to stay active and never give up on her dreams.
“He makes me feel motivated to do things because he says it in a very nice tone. He goes, ‘ Do it, do it now,' and it motivates me,” Davidson said.
Davidson is using her time in NJROTC to earn the ROTC scholarship, in hopes of attending The University of Texas at Austin to study finance with the goal of commissioning.
“After I graduate, I would like to get the ROTC scholarship, go to college, and major in finance."
Outside of school, Davidson loves to play the violin when she can, which isn’t always possible, but she still finds a way to excel at it.
“I used to play the violin, and I really liked it. I still play on my own now.”
Overall, Alexandra Davidson is an outstanding student here at Flour Bluff who shows her pride in being a Hornet and is also an outstanding cadet; we can’t wait to see what our student does next.
At school Nguyen takes on many challenging courses. In fact, she is enrolled in five AP classes this school year, yet there is one subject that stands out the most to her.
“My favorite subject in school is history. I think it's just interesting and I think it's like a subject that can’t be boring and it also requires no math,” said Nguyen.
While Nguyen’s favorite school subject is history, her favorite teacher teaches art. Ms. Lovin is the AP Art 4 teacher here at Flour Bluff, and she has made a large impact on Nguyen’s life.
“Probably Ms. Lovin. I've known her since my freshman year and she helped me a lot to get to state and to win it so I'd probably say her,” said Nguyen.
Outside of school, Nguyen enjoys going on runs with her friends whenever she has free time.
“I share running with my friends, like Emma, she runs with me a few days a week,” said Nguyen.
