Three words to describe yourself: sarcastic, honest, sociable
Emirami was born in Fiji and lived there until the age of nine when his mom married his stepdad from the States. From Fiji, he moved to Loganville, Georgia and then to Snellville, Georgia in 9th grade. Emirami did not speak any English coming here, so he said he "had to learn quickly in order to make new friends." At first arrival, Emirami said that he saw so many white people, which was a rare sight to see in Fiji. When he first came to UGA, he was pre-med, but after taking freshman chemistry, he switched majors to International Business and Management. He loves traveling and wants to go back to Fiji and work for the Fiji Water Corporation or to "contribute in some way to the country." His wild dream, however, is to become the prime minister of Fiji. He says, "I embrace my culture whereas other people that move to the U.S. completely forget their roots." Emirami also says, "I think back on how lucky I am . . . My step dad knew my mom had kids, but still helped . . . I feel very blessed." He also loves to play tennis and grew up playing volleyball in Fiji.
