Name: Walker Somerville

Major: International Relations and Latin American Studies

Hometown: Orange, Virginia

Service:Students Helping Honduras, Rotaract, College Partnership for Advanced Learners, Alpha Phi Omega, Community Service Leaders, Sharpe Scholar.About Me: Service has always been a part of my growth and development. I always feel that I get much more from my projects through what I learn than what I give. I grew up around service projects and have maintained that as a constant in my life. My m0m was one of the founders of the Habitat chapter in my area and she has and will always look out for families for need whenever she has the opportunity. When I was growing up there were always 3 or 4 families that my mom would try and help as much as she could throughout the year and especially Christmas. i learned a lot as a child about sharing ones resources and abilities to help others in need; today my current projects always continue to teach me new things. Man of the greatest changes in my life have occurred through the result of participation in service projects. Currently my future seems to be guided for my love for the city of El Progreso, Honduras. My college education has been attained more from projects than from any class that i have taken at William and Mary. My service adds to my classes and often gives me the ability to better understand the classes in my major. I love working with people and love helping people and if all possible am in search of a way/ the way to make it my profession to be able to continue working on projects similar to those i have participated on in College.
