CA Spotlight #7
Guess Who!?!?!

My birthday is March 8, 1993
I grew up in Draper, UT 
My major is Art and Visual Communications.
I grew up on a farm, so I used to have many pets. However, one day we sold the farm. I expect they’re off adventuring and living their lives to the fullest these days.
I love fruits and vegetables… But I can’t live without chocolate.
I have three brothers and four sisters.
I like to run, hike, bike, climb and spelunking.
I haven’t really lived in another country. I went to Spain for a month, and I’m determined to spend at least a year of my life in Europe.
I’ve met lots of future famous people.
My free time is usually spent outdoors. Or indoors.
My most important hobby is memorizing every minute of the Lord of the Rings movies.
My motto in life is, “Leave the world more interesting for your being here.”
Once I took a Latin class... But my second language is English.
A person of great influence in my life is my mom.
In five years from now, I will be graduated from college (hopefully), living in Europe (hopefully), and making enough money to eat (hopefully).
The cartoon character that best describes me is Aladdin. Because I’ll probably be homeless someday.
If I could live anywhere in the world for a year, I would choose Florence, Italy.
If I had a super power, I would be a witch (like Hermione, not the Wicked one)
I chose my major because I would rather make good art than make good money.
If I could meet anyone, it would probably be Buddha.
Something unique about me is that I can flip my eyelids!
If my life had a theme song, maybe it would be Beethoven’s 5. Something classical, I would get sick of anything with lyrics.
I became a CA because I wanted to be able to eat as many Jolly Ranchers from the office as I wanted.
I’m looking forward to the Masquerade Ball this Friday!
It’s going to be FRANCEtastic. Heh.
I want my residents to know that they always have a friend at WC!
This year has been/will be the best at WC. I’m going to do my best to help people have a great time!

CA Spotlight #6
Guess who!?!?!?!

My birthday is January 8, 1993
I am from L-Town (Layton) UT
My major is Mathematics Education
I used to have a pet, Betta Bobby! but Betta passed last month :( He's in a better place now
When it comes to food I love anything exotic..stuff like sandwiches, veggies, cookies & pizza.
I am sure I have brothers and sisters somewhere out there. Still looking for the other half of my locket
I like to play cricket
Have I ever lived in another country? Just Bolivia, Russia, Guam, Moldova, Australia, China, Kenya, London and Hawaii.
Have I met a famous person? Oh just the one and only, our very own Jordan Hanks from Bountiful, Utah. He's been working in the Wolverine Crossing office for 3 years now, so when I got the job I was thrilled that I get to work with him! You all know who i'm talkin' about..tall. dark. handsome. And I mean he's not one of those "too good for everyone" celebrities. Free autographs all day every day. And yes, he's as unreal in person as you'd imagine. Hands down my hero.
I mostly invest my time in things that are actually a positive influence on society. So i'm obsessed with keeping up with the Kardashians and the Bachelorette. Since it didn't work with Emily and Jeff, I'm his girl!
 Most people would say they like to take their dogs on a walk, but for me my hobbies are like my grandma. I collect stamps, the state quarters and beanie babies.
My motto in life is :Better out than it
From living in pretty much every corner of the world.. I'm fluent in English
Who has had the most influence in my life? Just a few of the many are Topanga (boy meets world), N'Sync, Mr. Rogers, and the Spice girls!
In five years from now?: I'll still be a CA at Wolverine Crossing, but I'll have a baby. I'm never leaving this place. 
The cartoon character that best describes me is Kimberly, the pink power ranger
If I could live anywhere in the world: I don't know, probably downtown Salt Lake, I hear it's pretty cool down there.
Super-power?: Spidey Senses...I want that webby sticky stuff to shoot out of my arms.
I chose my major because: I've known I've wanted to major in Mathematics for 5 years. I had a dream one night about Albert Einstein and ..umm.. I just work up knowing.
If I could meet ANYONE it would be Willie the Wolverine from UVU.
Something unique about me is that I've been to all 38 states in the US!
My life 'theme' song is: Confession by Usher, Eye of the tiger, and anything by Bieber.
What did I become a CA? Like I said before...Jordan Hanks.
What am I looking forward to this year? Serving my Community!
Some of my plans for Residents this year....I'll never tell!
What impression I want to leave on my residents: I want them to be speechless!
How am I going to make this year the best at WC? My actions speak for themselves. 
YAY MELISSA HADFIELD!!
We love you Melissa! We are so happy that you are on our team! You make us smile and we enjoy your contagious personality! Congrats on your Mission call to Australia! You're a rock star!

My big sister Heather has had the most influence in my life. She has always been there for me and is helping me along the way
Five years from now I will hopefully be finishing up my doctorate degree from Physical Therapy. Hopefully married..hint hint..
The cartoon character that best describes me is maybe Tigger? Because "bouncing is what a tigger does best" The red hair doesn't help either haha
I would really enjoy living in England. I love the culture there.
If I could choose a super-power it would be the Healing power. So I could get rid of my injuries and heal my hand.
I chose my major because I love sports! I also wanted a medical profession so it's the best of both worlds.
If I could meet anyone it would be my grandfather that passed away 6 months before I was born. People say I look just like him. I'm just about a foot taller than he was. So I have always wanted to meet him.
Something unique about me is my ridiculously lush golden red locks of hair! haha
My life theme song is: Everybody loves me, by One Republic
I wanted to be a CA because I just wanted to make an impact on people and help them have an awesome time while they do their studies.
I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and have fun!
For our Residents: We are going to have a lot of cool activities, and make lots of new friend!
I want my residents to know: You can have as much fun as you want and be as successful as you want! It all just determines on your attitude!

This year I am looking forward to coming up with new and exciting ideas, getting to know different residents, building relationships with the new staff and growing as a person through being a CA and all of the responsibilities that come with it.
Plans for my residents are micro-programming & focusing on the individual instead of just the majority or the whole
The impression I want to leave on my residents here at Wolverine Crossing is that WC is a the best place to live while going to UVU and that someone our there cares about them!
I am going to make this the best year by not taking life so seriously, communicating with my building staff, putting my residents' needs first & keeping a positive attitude!!

This week's spotlight is CARA BAPTISTA!!!!!!!!!


Cara, we love you and we are so grateful that you are on our team! Your Charisma and enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you for your hard work and constant smile! We love you!!
