Davis Ros says his parents couldn\u2019t be more different. One has climbed the corporate ladder, the other has launched a cosmetology business. So it\u2019s natural to see irony in that their pairing created Davis, a twin.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that makes me unique is being a twin. I know that on a large scale twins aren\u2019t extremely unique, but it is a key part in defining who I am today. Brogan, my twin, is the cause for two of my best traits\u2014a strong competitive nature and a forgiving one, which counter each other nicely,\u201d Ros observed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of this, the Wood River High School senior says he is able to strive to be the best while not letting the small things affect him or destroy relationships. It\u2019s a skill Ros says has flourished as he and his twin have gotten older.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has helped shape me and will continue to help me grow into a valuable part of whatever community I will reside in after college,\u201d Ros said.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a course load that includes A.P. Statistics, A.P. Human Geography, A.P. Government and College English, Ros is bound for college\u2014specifically, a smaller college on the East Coast, most likely either Plymouth State, University of New England, or Bates College. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to major in sports management,\u201d Ros said, \u201cwhich would set me up to be an athletic director or sports agent.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Ros is involved in both basketball and track-and-field at WRHS. He says the bonds he created with his basketball teammates and the healthy competitiveness instilled by his track-and-field cohorts are embedded in his character now. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bond we\u2019ve created through all the ups and downs has the strength to continue even after we all go our own ways,\u201d Ros said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ros also coaches and counsels a basketball camp in the summers that he says allows him to connect with the younger generation and provide them with positive energy as they grow up. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, it gives me the opportunity to promote an active life despite the overwhelming amount of things that are keeping kids inside,\u201d Ros said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor life has been instrumental to Ros\u2019s development. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite part about living in this Valley is how connected I can be to the outdoors, whether it\u2019s going skiing in the winter, exploring the mountains while camping with my friends, or hiking\/biking all the trails our Valley has to offer with my family. I am able to enjoy the amazing and beautiful Valley I call home,\u201d the lifelong Valley resident said.<\/span><\/p>\n

That indelible feeling is something Ros takes outside the Valley, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I would improve in our world is how people feel about our environment. It would be more than just increasing the awareness that we are hurting our planet but growing the respect people have for it. This is important because I want future generations to be able to experience how beautiful our planet is and that starts with changing current generations\u2019 views of our world,\u201d Ros said.<\/span><\/p>\n

One similarity between Ros\u2019s parents, he says, is their love for the mountains. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did it bring them together but it is a huge part of me. As for my brothers, our bond has gotten stronger with age. My twin and I could possibly head to school together next year,\u201d Ros said.<\/span><\/p>\n
