What would you say in just one elevator ride?
Hi! My name is Christine Peters, and I grew up in Central California near the city of Fresno. I say it that way because I didn't acutally grow up in town, but on a vineyard. My family's business is agriculture and so when I was younger I rode horses and played in the mud with my little brother in the mud from the irrigation behind my house. It was a great childhood!
I think my rural lifestyle was contradicted with my parents love of traveling, and I was fortunate enough to go with them to Europe and South America. They have definitely passed this love down to me and one of my goals at Santa Clara is to study abroad my Junior year, possibly in Seville (yay, tapas!). I also love to be active and outdoors, which includes sports like wake boarding, snowboarding, hiking, backpacking, basically I will be up for any sort of adventure.
A few of my general likes are that I love ALL food! All of it. I like happy, vibrant people that live out loud and want to have a good conversation! I also really enjoy reading when I get the time, and on that note I have to insert that I can take anyone on Harry Potter facts. Music wise, I am definitely not as knowledgeable, I like anything from Kenny Chesney to Passion Pit to Macklemore.
I am so happy to be a Santa Clara Bronco! I am actually 3rd generation and also almost didn't pick the school for that reason because my family has always talked about it. However, I am incredibly happy that I did! It's beautiful and the people (like yourselves) are incredibly intelligent and motivated. And the staff is amazing! Especially, I must say, in the Business school (I am a Business major). Whoa, talk about teaching through their expirences, they are inspirational. Also, hoping to grab a Spanish minor to add to my Biz major.
I'm really excited to be in Emerging Leaders. It is a great feeling to be surrounded by people who elected to take a class to learn how to be more active in the communtiy. I want to have a presence on campus and am hoping to score an Ambassadors position at some point to share my love of SC to perspective students!
Ding! This is your floor! See ya on Wednesday Broncos
I want to study abroad in spain too!! and I would like to say I'm pro and Harry Potter facts, LOVE food, not a big music person and love to travel. Sound like we have a lot in common.
ReplyDeleteWow that's great to hear! We should swap stories!
ReplyDeleteI also live on a farm! Well kinda.. my mom recently bought some Alpacas to join our herd of chicken and sheep. And I agree with Leah we also have a whole bunch in common. I can hold my own on Harry Potter trivia too as well as the whole food and active lifestyle things. Have you heard about Into the Wild? I'm going on a camping trip tomorrow to Pinnacles and if you haven't joined yet I can definitely add you to the email list if you want for future outdoor adventures :)
