Personal Introduction

Hello! My name is Alexa Sherman. I am at my second year at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. I am from Southern California, but I got a volleyball scholarship up here in Alaska. I love playing for the school, and I really enjoy the team. I am looking to be an elementary school teacher. I love kids and I work very well with them. I want to help the children learn that learning is really fun. I want to help them learn that learning is not just in a book, but also part of everyday life. I am excited to get started in the classrooms. 

I have two sisters. I have an older sister, Jenna, who is twenty-one. She is at Dartmouth in New Hampshire. She is studying to be a Doctor. My little sister, Dana, is seventeen. She was just accepted to the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is hoping to open up her own dance studio. As much as I love my family, I also have a love for a few more things.

I love the beach, with the sound of the waves crashing up against the sand. But, at the same time, I love the mountains. I love the peacefulness of the snowfall. Music is a big part of my life. One of my favorite feelings is driving up the coast with the windows down and the music cranked up. The view of the ocean is just amazing. I love traveling. I want to see the world... Australia, Greece, Brazil, Africa, Everywhere. I love quotes. I once read that "as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn't do." I am going to do everything!
