Elevator Speech

My name is Emily Fayram. I am from Los Olivos, California. I grew up with one brother, a golden retriever, and a love of dance and the Green Bay Packers. I enjoy reading, jogging, dancing, spending time with my family and friends, and volunteering with kids. I am an undeclared major and Spanish minor, and I hope to be a Speech Therapist, or something of the sort. I think it is important to do the things you love to do and celebrate life. Reflecting on my past year, I have so many wonderful memories of becoming closer with friends I've known for a long time and meeting new people. I believe that life is truly what you make of it, so as long as you have a positive attitude, no situation is too massive to overcome. I look forward to my next few years at SCU and using my education to make a difference in the world. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived: this is to have succeeded." I believe everyone should strive for Emerson's measure of success.
