Fore finds balance between football, SGA
While most students struggle to balance school, work and a social life, Student Government Association President and A&M-Commerce football team member Taylor Fore has it down to a science.
"For me, balancing SGA and the football team isn't too difficult," he said. "I get up and go to morning practice, and then I go to class. I get out of class at two every day, and then I can be in the office from two to four. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I have a three hour gap between classes where I can be in the office or available to meet people or be around campus. I don't really feel like I'm missing anything. It's been a week so far and I don't feel overwhelmed."
Fore, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, decided to come to A&M-Commerce soon after visiting the campus.
"I knew I wanted to play football," he said. "I turned to my dad before I was done with my tour and told him I wanted to go here."
Fore walked onto the football team his freshman year, but soon decided that he needed to participate in more activities.
"My freshman year, all I did was go to school and play on the football team," he said. "I didn't feel like I was getting the most out of my college experience. So I coached a young men's and young women's basketball team and then a baseball team in the spring."
After establishing a relationship with the Commerce community, Fore decided to get involved on campus.
"My junior year, I wondered what more I could do," he said. "So I talked with [former SGA President] Michelle Tolbert and she told me about SGA. After I went to a meeting, I knew I wanted to be a part of it."
As president of SGA, Fore is looking forward to the fall semester.
"A previous concern was lack of involvement in SGA," he said. "We have an almost full senate with plenty of applications in. We're excited about that, so we can focus our energy on various committees."
According to Fore, the relationship between SGA and the A&M-Commerce administration is excellent.
"The relationship between the administration and the SGA is wonderful," he said. "I'm really looking forward to working with all of them. I feel that if I need anything, I can pick up the phone and they'll be there."
