What inspires you from WFSU Public Media? Here's this week's Voices That Inspire. My name is Alexa Kilberner. I'm a third year student at Forest University studying English literature and science language. And I'm a health manager for Southern Social Foundation, typically for last year's watch college, which is where I am now. I joined Southern Social Foundation in fall of 380. From the second year, I heard about SF when I was like a high school senior. I was like, I need to apply for that. It's very community oriented. One of our biggest values is community living. So we've cooperatively, you know, if you have a community to cook, so community is really important for us. But I feel really lucky. And it's because we're all committed to that cooperative living. I love my degree in honestly. I love just this path. And I'm really excited to be an English major. Like I was kind of confused. My first year, I mean, what college students is still figuring out what path I wanted to be on after starting an English and then taking on another major with Italian. And I was like, this feels like it's like fits like my interest and like passions and everything. What really keeps me inspired is being creative with other people and being able to share our memories and talk about what's love. Whether it's just like talking about music for people or talking about like what thinks of red or just like sitting together, listening to the podcast and like drawing our paintings. It's so like I feel so good for just my mental health. And I will be able to speak with people because it's kind of like just a night out but away from being graded and worrying about like paper and cloth and assignments and just having a time to like see humans with other people and just kind of like share our and everything. It's a really important thing. My name is Alex Calmer. I am a student at Fort Sea University and I'm a house manager at a college foundation. You're listening to voices that inspire.
