A Conversation with Glenn Davis
What is your Military Occupation Specialist in the Army?
“I am a Health Care Specialist, (Combat Medic).”
How has your military experience benefited your experience at A&M-Commerce?
“I had the experience of attending A&M-Commerce before and after joining the military. Before the Army, I was very undisciplined. School came second to partying and having fun with my friends. After I joined up, I learned how to balance my life. I learned that I can't always have someone hovering over me to make sure I get the job done. I would say my military experience has definitely made it easier to prioritize my life. And also, the Army pays for my school so that's a plus.”
Why did you choose to attend A&M-Commerce?
“Actually, this is an interesting story in itself. Originally there were four of us sitting on an Army base in Germany. We were looking up schools in Texas and A&M-Commerce was the only university that offered all of our majors and wasn't extremely expensive, so we all applied and got accepted. A year later, two more joined us.”
What do you like best about A&M-Commerce and the biology department?
“It's small enough that I get to know a lot of people. I really like the science building. It just screams knowledge! Commerce offers so much; it has really changed my life. I have found lifelong friends here and discovered who I really am at the same time.”
What student organizations have impacted you at A&M-Commerce?
“I would have to say the Kappa Alpha Order has impacted me the most. I pledged in the Fall of 2006 and those guys have become my family away from home. I love those guys.”
What are you studying and what are your career plans?
“Well I haven't quite made up my mind. Right now, I am a biology major, but I think I eventually want to work in public relations.”
Why do you want to pursue public relations?
“I have fun with people, and I want to study people and deal with people as a career. I think that’s why I chose the job in the Army that I did. I like helping people.”
