 My name is Emory Somerville. I'm from Huntsville, Alabama, a sophomore majoring in elementary education. When I first came to the university, I just came in 1831, where I met a lot of friends and got interested in different things that the university was able to offer. My favorite thing to get involved in on campus was house pals. I am an education major, so being able to go out into the test school as a community and work with children was something that I enjoyed doing. I think the university has a very diverse group of faculty as well as students, so I get to learn about people from all different walks of life, which is really interesting. I grew up in the South, so coming to a Southern school I was really worried that I'd be around people that I kind of grew up with, but we have people, a lot of people from out of state, students coming in as well as out of the country, so you're getting to learn about other people's upbringing. Getting your rest is one of the biggest things I learned to do in college. You know, take a break from studying and go out with friends or whatever the case may be. You're learning who you are during this period of time in your life, so being able to kind of branch out and learn about yourself.
