Getting to choreograph for the musicals has really helped my leadership abilities and has helped me step out of my comfort zone. It has given me a great opportunity to express my ideas and be able to help my school.
Davidson Academy is a God-focused school.  How does that impact life at DA and what does it mean to you?
People at DA are friendlier and more willing to reach out to someone. I think this makes people feel valued and appreciated, since someone is looking out for them, whether that be a student or faculty member.
