 What's your favorite thing about yourself? "Myself? Oh man... I like that I'm a people person because I love people." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 How are you trying to make the world a better place? "Personally, I'm trying to make the world a better place through compassion and empathy when communicating with others. Especially when working with Mexico Outreach at Azusa Pacific University, there is a lot of cross-cultural experience. A lot of people don't understand why things are different. It's easy to be upset with differences or think things are weird because they're different. I am passionate about educating people on the truth of it and that it's not weird or scary, but that it's just a different way of life and that it requires different way of loving people. I don't know if that's making any sense. I think I make the world a better place by helping to educate people on the way they can love others with compassion and empathy and sympathy and patience. You can't expect people to be at the same level that you are or for you to be the same level as other people, but you can work towards that and gain understanding from others and give other understanding. I think that's a huge part of truly love people." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's most special to you? "I'd say what's most special to me are the relationships I have with certain people in my life. They really, really know me and not a lot of people do. I treasure those." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's your most prized possession? "I have so many things... none of them are prized. I'm a little bit of a pack rat, so I have so much stuff. I think my most prized possession would be my journal. There's two of them, but they kind of count as one because it's all my life so... I'm terrible at journaling, but they're still my prized possessions." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What is one question you've always had? "The question I've always had is... What's going to happen to me after I die?" Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What do you want to explore? "My first thought was that I definitely want to explore the world and all the nature that God has created, but the other part of it is I really want to explore more of who God is. I feel like our little human brains don't actually understand Him." Cuernavaca, Baja California. Mexico
 What's your story? "Oh, that's a big question. I'm a California girl, but my parents raised me to not be basic. Basically, they taught us to try everything and to explore the world. Make your life your own adventure. This sounds basic now... But the main idea of my story is to glorify Jesus. That's really choppy, but that's my story." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's the best prank you've ever pulled? "This might not be the best prank, but it's definitely the most recent. A guy on our hall was passed out in his bed and he was out cold, so me and a bunch of guys decided to... He was out cold because he was sick. Wink, wink. So me and my friends decided to mess with him. So we got a bunch of Sharpies and started drawing a bunch of funny stuff on his face, all over his body, on his nipples and everywhere else. They were not pretty pictures. He woke up the next day and had a meeting." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's the stupidest thing you've ever done? "So I lived in University Village at Azusa Pacific University for my first semester and I had a roommate. We're making dinner because, you know, we're college men making dinner and we decided we were going to be culinary experts and bake something. So we bake something together, or I bake something then he comes home and we had dinner together. Very romantic. Then we went to bed. Not together, obviously. Stay with me. Then I got up in the middle of the night because I was like, 'Wow, it's really warm in here.' I went to go turn on the AC and went back to bed. I woke up the next day at, like, 10am and it was still really warm. I walk into the kitchen to make some cereal and I had left the oven on all night long. I was heating up the whole entire house, so I promptly turned it off. I thought, 'Davis, that was stupid.' There it is." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico

 What's your favorite part of today so far? "Today? Well, today we went to a men's health center. I colored with a couple of the men there. One of them gave me something he colored and it was really nice. Afterwards, we went to go get tacos and quesadillas. That was really good also. Yeah, it was a good day." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's your random piece of advice? "Smile at everyone because you don't know who needs one." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 Who do you want to meet? "Well, I'm a film major, emphasis in screenwriting, and I have a passion to tell great stories. Growing up, I've always been a fan of J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. You know, the greats. I'd probably sit down with them, as some of the greatest film directors out there that have made things like Back to the Future. Maybe George Lucas. Add him, too. He's pretty cool. But yeah, I really want to get to know their passion and why they started to pioneer into the film industry because without them, there wouldn't be any of us." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? "Man, that's tough. I've never been to Puerto Rice, but I feel like that's kind of general. Somewhere cool like Brazil. Somewhere nice." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 If you could try a job for one day, what would you try? "Annie Leibovitz. I would want to have her job for like a day. Maybe a week or month or year. She's cool." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
 What's one of the strangest things you've ever done? "Do you want an insane thing I've done? Well, we visited Mayan ruins in Guatemala that only 300 people go to annually. To get there, you have to take an hour and a half long boat ride over a river that's infested by crocodiles or alligators. Whatever's in Guatemala. We saw them. They were creepy. We're in these metal canoes, like they're not even legit boats. They're metal canoes, okay! We get there and a storm comes in, right, and we're an hour and a half from civilization in these Mayan ruins. They're like, "You need to leave now. A storm is rolling in and it's going to get super dark." We had to get out of there. So we ran down to our metal canoes, we take off and it just gets pitch black outside. Our guides didn't bring any lights so we couldn't see anything. Then it started raining. It started thundering and there was lightning, which was actually really helpful. We thought we were going to die on this river, but the lightning provided enough light so the guides could see the river banks. We'd be zooming at 30 miles per hour towards this bank and then lightning would strike and we'd just turn the boat around. It was so nuts! I thought I was going to die that night, but I was perfectly content to die because it was crazy! So anyway, we got back safe and we just laid on the ground. And that's the most insane thing I've ever experienced in my entire life." Cuernavaca, Baja California, Mexico
