March has been both an exciting and nerve-wracking time for the seniors. As college decisions roll in, seniors scramble to figure out where they want to go. However, amidst the chaos is the picture of graduation coming up. Glimpses of caps, gowns, and tassels are seen by every senior, awaiting the moment they can finally be done.
Senior Noah Davis has been at Brownell Talbot since freshman year. He said, “I really like having multiple opportunities to get to know and interact with underclassmen, whether it be in my classes or House!”
On campus, Noah participates in the Board Game Club, and he is on the yearbook staff. Noah shared his favorite memory from the club: “Whenever Hutch Reumann and Beckett Stevens are together and we’re playing a card or board game, they have a tendency to loudly bicker with each other, and that always makes for a good laugh.”
When thinking about the end of his high school years, Noah shared, “On one hand, I feel sad that I’ll be leaving those that I’ve helped and with whom I’ve established great relationships. But on the other hand, I’m simultaneously anxious and excited to move onto the next phase of my life and come into my own.”
Noah is most excited about the prom poems: “Not only do I have a few ideas of what mine will look like, but I’m also very curious to hear what my colleagues will write.”
When asked what his favorite class has been in high school, Noah said Latin, ever since freshman year: “The miniscule class size (there’s only four of us right now) leads to a lot of interactions and bonding that wouldn’t be possible in a larger environment. I’m also fascinated with the subject.” Noah also shared his favorite year: “I thought 10th grade was a great year, personally. That was the year I really made an effort to be more active in the BT community (such as seeing the Fall Musical and even going to the Winter Formal). Besides that, while the classes were very difficult, they each taught me a lot of great things and helped me grow as a person. That being said, I can’t deny that being able to leave campus during free periods as a senior is very nice!”
When thinking about the future, Noah has chosen to attend BYU-Idaho. His major is currently in Psychology. He said, “I have already been accepted, so all there is to do now is wait until that time comes. My older brother is rooming with me, so I’m extremely excited to start a new chapter in my life with him.” Noah also shared some other plans: “After spending a semester at BYU Idaho, I will serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where I will dedicate two years of my life to serve those who live in the place where I am called for my mission assignment. Although that will undoubtedly be very difficult and different from anything I’ve ever done before, I am nonetheless excited and know that I will do a great amount of good!”
Noah’s advice to underclassmen is a thoughtful one: “Reach out to people with whom you don’t usually associate. Your kindness will mean more to them than you know.”
