My name is Skyler Sikes and I'm a senior studying Letters. I'm passionate about languages (I study French and Latin), people, and politics. This semester I'm taking a couple of interesting classes. I’m taking Latin, History and Memory, The Rebirth of Israel, and of course Indian Epics. I love Letters. Most people think it is "just a major" for law school, but, for the rest of my life, I fully intend to use the ideas and concepts I've learned and developed within my major. I hope to become a lawyer. I'm specifically interested in human rights law and/or aviation law. I hope to change the world. It could be through law, politics, or helping to solve the foster-care system in Oklahoma. I'm excited about the future!
I have two brothers, two parents, and a miniature golden-doodle named Theodore Fitzgerald Sikes. Theodore (Teddy, as we call him) was named after a couple of my favorite people. Theodore Roosevelt and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents. F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author. His ability to compose an orchestra of words is unparalleled, in my opinion. If you haven't read This Side of Paradise, you're missing out. I also really love coffee - if it weren't for espresso, I'd be a zombie some days!
Anyways, I'm looking forward to this class because of the context within history that the indian epics have. I'm excited to see not only what I can learn, but also how I can apply it.
