I come from a wonderful and supportive community, with loving and dedicated people everywhere I turn. Not only do I have such a great school that provides everything necessary and more for all of its students to be successful in every aspect of their high school career, but they also give us the chance to be prepared to have a wonderful future. Being a part of Duncan Athletics is a privilege and it teaches me things daily that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.”
Faith plays an integral part of Dasia’s life. Dasia proclaimed, “My relationship with Jesus Christ is definitely my biggest motivation. Having a relationship with God and waking up each morning knowing that I am His child and He is going to love me no matter what the day brings will always be the most motivating and peaceful thing I will ever experience. Growing His kingdom will forever be my end goal; playing sports and all the success that comes from it is a platform to share His love, and thankfully it is the path He has provided. All of the glory will forever be His and I am so grateful that He has plans for me and it is all out of my hands.”
