CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — At East Chapel Hill High School, students have a variety of ways they can get involved with sports.

Whether it's the talented fencing team or on the gridiron playing football, there's plenty for Wildcats students to do.

However, that also means there's way too many events to cheer at. Luckily, Spectrum News 1 High School Scholar Amari Davis is no stranger to juggling numerous responsibilities at once. 

Davis is a member of more clubs and organizations than you could count. Social Justice Academy and National Achievers Society are just two of the big ones, adding to a resume that features a GPA of over 4.0. However, it's her voice and compassion that speaks loudest to other people. 

"It gives students an outlet," Davis said. "Let's say you had a hard day at school, you're at practice, you're around people that make you feel good. You're just in like a family environment." 

By no means is what she does easy. Forget having to constantly be energetic and positive, no matter the score of a game. But there's a lot to remember.

Football players have X's and O's, but Davis has to remember lyrics to long cheers and memorize the moves and dances that go with them. 

"It can be very difficult, because one person could be doing this, when we're really supposed to be doing that. We all need to look as a unit, because we're all only as strong as our weakest link. So, if one of our teammates is working not the best, we have to help them. We're a sisterhood in cheer," Davis said.

After leaving Chapel Hill, Davis wants to continue being a cheerleader, only in a slightly different manner. In the future, she wants to use medicine and psychology to help people fulfill their full potential. 

"I specifically want to work with kids, because I feel like a lot of stuff happens when you're young, so if you learn when you're young, it will help you in your future. You wanna go out in the world and help somebody and you wanna make a difference, you don't wanna do anything solely for yourself," she said.

Davis says her goal is to be able to attend Howard University, learning enough about medicine and psychology to one day open her own clinic. She'll work on that journey thanks to the scholarship she was awarded by Orange County state Rep. Allen Buansi. 

"A positive role model for her peers, a leader. They said that she is committed to giving back and making life better for others. They said she's driven. These are all of the essential qualities of greatness," Buansi said of Davis.
