Senior Spotlight: Dawson Ferber

Dawson Lincoln Ferber, age 17, was born on February 21st, 2002 to Mark and Tracy Ferber and is a big brother to sister, Caymen. Dawson lives on the outskirts of Madison and is a senior at Madison High School. His favorite color is green. Why you might ask? Well, the color green reminds Dawson of the green that can be found in nature and nature is “beautiful.”

His favorite TV show is the Big Bang Theory. Dawson enjoys watching this show because he can relate to some of the characters. He can relate most to Sheldon because, “I’m smart and nerdy.” He can also relate to Leonard because, “I can be cool if you get to know me.” His favorite movie series is Star Wars, and if someone was looking for a show or movie to watch, Dawson would recommend the Star Wars Series. The main reason some people don’t like Star Wars is that the plot is different and some people don’t like things that are different. As a child, his favorite Cartoon was Jimmy Neutron, and he would relate to the main character of the show, Jimmy Neutron, because he is smart and likes to cause mischief. His favorite book series is the Michael Vey Series. He likes the thought of the characters, “being like the Avengers, but instead of adults, they’re teenagers.”

During the summer, Dawson spends most of his time at his job umpiring softball and Little League baseball games. Dawson likes his job because he enjoys being around people and, of course, “having the power of umping is kind of fun.” Dawson is good at umping but he is also very good at video games, especially Fallout 4. He enjoys how Fallout 4 brings out the choices and how they can influence the outcome in the game. 

A super-power that Dawson would want is telepathy, and with his newfound power, he would use it to help others with their problems. He would read their mind and try to help them through a struggle in their life because one thing that is always constant with Dawson is that he wants to help people and see them happy.

If Dawson were given 5 million dollars and couldn’t spend any of that money on himself, he would give all of it to charities and people in need because he wants to change the world for the better. If Dawson was able to try anything and not fail, he would want to teach people more about computers and how to use them. One thing Dawson couldn’t live without is his computer, as he does almost everything on it. Due to his love of computers, Dawson’s dream job is in cyber-security. He wants to use his knowledge to help protect other people from online dangers. In the future, Dawson wants to have a job in cyber-security, a family, and be living life to the fullest.
