Amadis Levasa is a 16-year-old junior at West Brunswick High School. She was born in Fayetteville, NC, where she lived most of her childhood. After eight years of living in Fayetteville, she and her family began moving from place to place until they finally moved to Supply, NC. She lives with her parents and her only sibling, who will be a freshman at West next year.
After leaving Fayetteville and a couple of years living in Brunswick County, she began playing lacrosse, which is what she spends most of her time doing. She plays for West's lacrosse program and joined a travel ball team in Wilmington, Coastal Rays, last summer. She is highly committed to her lacrosse career and is still working on becoming one of the captains on her team this season. She has been working nonstop so that she has to continue playing after high school and is planning to commit to Emory & Henry College, a division 2 in Virginia, where she also has the goal of majoring in sports medicine.
“I spend most of my free time practicing and working out,” said Levasa, “If I’m not out there practicing, I’ll be in the weight room just to help keep myself in shape, then after that I’ll be out practicing. I'm even doing cross country this year just for lacrosse.”
She spends time with her family when she is not playing lacrosse. She also enjoys traveling to different places and making beautiful memories everywhere. Usually, she spends her free time at the beach, but her other favorite place to go is Myrtle Beach, where she loves spending time with friends and has various activities they can do.
This year being her junior year, Levasa plans to enjoy every moment. This year is Levasa’s second year in Journalism, where she is now the event coverage coordinator. She enjoys sports articles, event coverage, and photography. She intends to write better articles than last year and create more creative stories. Levasa is prepared to try new things and is driven to make this year great.
“When my seniors last year told me to join this class, it opened a new door of opportunity for me,” said Levasa. “I don't think I’ve ever looked forward to going to a class until I started Journalism. I’m super excited to see where we go this year.”
