High School Honoree – Davis Hampton & Ayush Patel
Davis and Ayush assisted a fellow student who was injured by helping him walk from Brooks Gym and carrying his belongings voluntarily. Davis made a special trip to take crutches to the student. Ayush assured that the student was okay until his parent picked him up. Both Ayush and Davis could have left for the day as they have Dual Enrollment after the class in which the injury occurred. They modeled compassionate and altruistic behavior that was inspiring to me and the others who witnessed it. Good job guys!
