Know Your Swimming Monarchs: What is Your Major and Why

ODUSports.com recently polled members of the ODU swim team. Last week was the first edition and we asked why they chose the sport of swimming. Today we asked their major and why. Emily Carella, Caleb Wyninger and Madeline Willson answered this week's question.

Emily Carella – JR – Davidsonville, Md.
I am majoring in special education. I have always dreamt of being a teacher and as I got older I gained a desire to be a special education teacher. The opportunities I was given growing up being able to interact with a wonderful group of people at Special Olympics as a volunteer swim coach, a camp counselor to those who had disabilities, and a friend in the club Best Buddies I knew I wanted to dedicate a part of my life to this community.
