“My name is Liliana Davis, and I am the daughter of Catalina Flores and Joel Davis. I am beyond thankful to be recognized by the Colfax Chamber of Commerce as the March Student of the Month.
I have spent my entire life, so far, living in Colfax. Throughout the years, I have participated in concert band, track and field, and National Honor Society. This year, I was selected as the Vice President of our NHS Chapter, and it is an rewarding and fun experience. I also had the opportunity to participate in honor band my junior year. I have been recognized in honor roll and received numerous academic excellence awards these past couple years as well.
When it comes to contributing to my community, I have been involved in numerous ways. This last summer, I began working part-time at Tick Klock Drug and continue to do so during school and this upcoming summer. For the past couple years, I have volunteered at the Whitman County Library for their Spring Tea Luncheon event and also have helped them during the Winter Festival. Since I love animals, I have donated to the Whitman County Humane Society and to the Humane Society of the Palouse. Every now and then, I have also offered to pet sit for people here in town.
As for my future plans, I aspire to become an esthetician and attend Spokane Community College (SCC). Eventually, I would love to earn my Advanced Esthetician Certification as well. One of my passions include beauty and skincare, which is why I think this career is perfect for me.
Growing up in this town has brought me amazing opportunities, connections, and positive experiences that have influenced who I am today. Once again, I would like to thank the Colfax Chamber of Commerce for nominating me as the March Student of the Month. This is an incredibly rewarding and exciting experience.”
This initiative recognizes outstanding students in our community who excel in academics, leadership, and character.
