Davis is just taking his win streak into April racking up some honors at school with highest average in Forensic Science and English classes. At the Shelby County Student of the Year nominee luncheon, he was seated at a table with Magan, the principal of CTEC, his advisor at CTEC, and the shelby county superintendent. After announcing the CTEC scholarship awards to two other people, Davis and Magan were disappointed that he did not win, but still happy to be nominated. Then they named the entire Shelby County awards, and surprising both of them, he won!
Magan's facebook words: "He WON! Davis got Shelby County Student of the Year! We were honored just to be there and shocked when he won, Dr Epps said we looked like Beyoncé when she won. Complete shock. We love our community and all the wonderful educators and administrators who work with these kids tirelessly and show them love all along the way."
He was also awarded with highest average in CTEC automotive classes, and received his CTEC honors cords, then returned the award the next night by giving his CTEC teach, Mr. Irwin, his Golden Apple award (Chelsea students with a GPA >4.0 are all given a Golden apple to provide to a teacher that had a large impact on their school career)
Davis' Golden apple speech..."I would like to give my golden apple to the funniest and best teacher i’ve had Mr.Irwin. For those who don’t know Mr.Irwin teaches the automotive technology class at the career technical education center. Mr.Irwin your class has been My favorite class that I have ever taken. Working on cars and learning lessons the hard way Is fun and all but without the daily “what’s up homie” as I walk into the shop or one of the many events and field trips that you plan for us, It wouldn’t be the same. I will forever be grateful for all the opportunities, skills and jokes that you shared with me and i can’t wait to use them in the next stage of life. I couldn’t think of anything else to end on except saying thank you homie!"
Davis also found out that he had won a scholarship from the Masonic Lodge in Columbiana also! Perhaps it helps that Mr. Irwin is a member. And I will leave the awards here for this month, as I write in the future, and I will just say May looks pretty good also. I was planning to be in Georgia during May, and told Davis that he needed to pick me some numbers for lotto. At this point, I don't think it would even be considered gambling, just going to pick up a check that he had already won.
