LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Alix Neville was nominated by a student.

"'Good morning, my sweetcakes,' I heard from down the halls of Arrowhead. I already know who said it. Mrs. Neville. My face lit up as Mrs. Neville asked me how my day went. I was having a bad day. I wanted to be alone, but Mrs. Neville wouldn't leave me alone. I was so happy someone was there for me to talk to and to let everything out. Mrs. Neville never failed to say hi to me. When I was dealing with a lot, Mrs. Neville was the person I could talk to and open up to because I never felt alone talking to her," said the student.

"I didn't think I would connect so much with a teacher until I met Mrs. Neville. She let me be me no matter what. If anything went wrong, I could text Mrs. Neville or stop by the study hall and talk to her. She has a straightforward job: monitor the senior study hall. By doing so, Mrs. Neville has made more friends than ever. Her face lights up whenever anyone comes to check into the study hall. She could talk to every student forever," said the student.

"Not only is Mrs. Neville a kind, bighearted study hall supervisor at Arrowhead, but she is also a mom and volunteers at her church. Mr. Neville has two beautiful daughters that she could talk about for hours. Mrs. Neville is the most caring, compassionate, and amazing mother to her daughter and study hall supervisor to me," said the student.

"After only knowing Mrs. Neville for about a year, I have discovered that she has helped me in more ways than one. She has been there for me when I am sad, happy, or anxious," said the student. 

"I knew I wanted to attend beauty school and take over my mom's business since I was a kid. Everyone made me feel like it wasn't an accomplishment because it 'wasn't a real college,' but Mrs. Neville made me feel so satisfied. That is why I decided to write about her," said the student.

"Mrs. Neville is driven, motivated, and the person I desire to be. The constant reminders she gave me made me think differently about everything. I want to thank Mrs. Neville for being the most inspiring person ever. Coming up at the end of my senior year, Mrs. Neville has been my favorite teacher since the day I met her in my junior year," said the student.
