Hello Friends

      Hey! I am Bria Sommer a Freshman enrolled in the Paralegal Studies Program at Tannana Valley Community College. I have been a life long resident of Fairbanks, but I have always seen myself living in another part of the North-West United States. I am married to a soldier in the United States Army, and I am also a manager of the Physical Fitness Center on Ft.Wainwright. I believe that we all should support our troops and their familys, as life in the armed forces is hard on all of them. I like to work out, running, yoga and crossfit are a few of the ways I keep myself stess free. I'm also a third degree black belt in Taekwon Do. I've been practicing since I was 9 years old and have been given the chance to travel the world as a competitor for team U.S.A. My favorite place that Taekwon Do has brought me is Benidorm, Spain. I enjoy the physical as well as mental challenge that Taekwon Do demands. Currently I reside in a dry cabin (out-house and all!) I love the quiet and beauty that living out of town provides and making a smaller impact on the Earth and being able to pick blueberries right out my front door. I read as much as I can working full-time and being a part-time student.
       I recently read the Twilight books, just to see what the rage was about, and I am now a "Twi-hard", I finished all 4 books over Winter break. My favorite book that I have ever read is Sophies World by Jostein Gaarder. It's "a novel about the history or Philosophy", and I have read it so many times that it is falling apart at the bindings! I read it for the first time Freshman year in high-school and have read it at least every year after. It is a wonderfully written book and a lovely adventure, you also learn a few things ;). I look forward to learning more about writing so that one day I too can be the author of a piece of work that people will read for the rest of their lives and still take something away from it.
