Notes |
- The following profile appeared at http://www.smc.edu/schedules/archives/profiles/2008/082/Sudaley_Avi.html in the summer of 2008:
âIâm not choosing a major just yet, and Iâm just fine with that for now. Thereâs time to settle in but, at the moment, it all just feels like an amazing journey.â
The âjourneyâ that Avi Sudaley refers to above could almost have begun 16 years ago, when he was only three. âMy parents came back here from Israel when the Gulf War was going on. My mom was pregnant with my sister, and she didnât fancy giving birth to her in a field hospital. Plus, she missed her family and having a car. Life is pretty Spartan in Israel.â Of his Orthodox upbringing, Avi explains, âOkay, part of the whole Jewish thing is that you go to Israel for, like, a year right after high school. So I was over there thinking about colleges, and I decided it would be best to go to SMC. Iâd be close to home, be with people I knew, and save a lot of money.â
So Avi hooked up with SMC, and has not regretted his decision one bit. âI love my classes here, and Iâm always going home and telling everybody about all the interesting things that I learned that day. I took a Philosophy of Religion class that was absolutely engaging on every level. And whatâs so cool about SMC is that the classes are much smaller than they are at universities. And that really encourages class participation, because you get to express your ideas to your professors and see what they think. It all really leads to connecting with your teachers.â
When asked what heâs likely to find himself doing in the future, Avi replies, âHonestly? I have no idea. Maybe psychology, maybe international relationsâŚâ But his is a questing mind. âMy personal beliefs arenât exactly âJewish,â because I started reading philosophy and began to question things. And the more I read, the more I began coming around to being an atheist. And it was interesting to realize that what Iâd been believing in so strongly was primarily based on training.â Avi is a guy who believes in keeping all his optionsâand his mindâopen.
