Hello Everyone!

Hey ladies,
My name is Merique Suliveras and this is my second year here at Fredonia. When I came into Fred I was originally a theater arts major. I came from a performing arts high school and I thought theater was my passion and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In my theater seminar that I took my first semester one of the main things that my professor stressed the most was that if you could see yourself doing something else then do that instead. Although theater is still a really big passion of mine, an even bigger passion I possess is helping people. My second semester of Freshmen year I switched my major to psychology and I put in a criminal justice minor. I thought I wanted to be a forensic psychologist and help the cops profile criminals and get them off the street. I quickly learned that that police force was not for me. I am currently still a psychology major but I am switching to a sociology minor with a focus on school and counseling. I want to help children get the most out of their education when it's most important, in the fundamental stages. I want to help them figure out why they aren't learning as efficiently as other students and I also want to help them overcome personal issues that may be hindering their school work.
Out of all of my classes this semester this is the class I most look forward to going to. I've always loved reading and literature. I even considered being an English teacher at one point.  I love that we're all women and we are all learning about how much of a struggle it was for women to break into the literary world. I think a lot of the time people forget how recent it actually was that women were given basic rights and that the first woman published a book not many decades ago. I'm very excited to get to know everyone's point of view in the class. It should be a great semester girls!
