“I think I got closer to God coming here. I go to church a lot more, and I think it allows me to interact with a lot more people on campus. People that I never thought I’d interact with, too, so I think that’s cool.”
Meet Elijah Estes, a junior from Austin, Texas. Eli is a physical education major and originally chose SNU because it was the closest thing he had to home in order to play football. He was nervous to come to a new place where he didn’t know anyone. However, when he got here, he discovered his love for not only the football team but also for the community. He values the kindness and generosity of the people on campus and has felt support and guidance from his coaches and professors. During the week, he looks forward to chapel because of the involvement people show through worship.
When asked about his passions and how they align with what he is studying, Eli said, “I’m really into taking care of the body. I think learning more about how your body works and reacts to different actions and things you do is pretty interesting.”
Learning how to live and pursue a healthy lifestyle is something that Eli strongly values in his life. Working in physical education will allow him to embrace his passion for sports and physical health. We are cheering you on, Eli!
