Alexis Wonderview High School

Tonya, Lexi's mom says she is so proud of Alexis for several reasons.  "First, she has a heart for God. She has spent her life in church serving God transitioning from an altar server to Eucharist minister.  This is why she has such a strong moral compass. She is so smart and a thinker.  Sometimes too much! She's hard-headed, a hard worker, and a loyal friend.  She is a leader who marches to the beat of her own drum.  She is an overcomer.  She has battled through big obstacles with grace. She's a tomboy who cleans up nice.  Exactly what I wanted her to be.  I think those girls have the most fun.  She's been beautiful from the day she was born inside and out."

 

"Am I anxious? No , maybe a little sad she won't be living under my roof, but that's all.  I am so excited to see her spread those wings!  This is what she's been preparing herself to do for so long.  She's going to do big things!" Tonya.

 

When asked what her dreams are for Lexi, "To find the calling God intended for her.  I want all the things for her, but most importantly I want her to be happy.  If she listens to him, she'll have that."

"Extremely hard to choose just one.  Having a daughter like Alexis has been a blessing.  If I had to choose just one, I'd have to choose the most recent.  Alexis has long dreamed of playing college softball.   She spent many years working toward this goal with blood, sweat, and tears.  She has had the opportunity to meet with several wonderful coaches and visit some beautiful campuses.  The day she committed to ASU Jonesboro was huge!  This day she was introduced to her future teammates and even prayed with them before they left on the team bus.  She was super excited to tour the campus and discuss her future with the criminology professor.    She even had what she described as a "God Wink" while on tour.  One of the things we discussed on our drive to the school that morning was finding a church.  When we entered the cafeteria, there was a table of youth handing out mass times. Perfect!  After working so hard, she finally found a home where she could play ball while pursuing her dream career."
