Hello fellow Anthro students and welcome to my blog. Since this is my first post I thought it was only right to provide you guys with a little background information about me. My birth name is Zachery Stankovich Alfers but I'm currently in the process of changing it and getting one of my last names dropped. Its just too confusing. I was born in San Diego and lived there for 11 years. I sternly believe that SD is the best place in the U.S. After I graduated from grade school my dad and I moved to Costa Rica where we stayed for two years. Being the only "gringos" in the whole town was definitely something that took some time to get used to. Especially when your 11 trying to make friends but the other kids have no idea what your saying. It got easier though when school started. I went to a private school that was taught in english but we had spanish class everyday for an hour where you got minus points for every bit of english you spoke. After a couple months in that class my spanish skills improved and was able to eventually communicate with my neighbors. After our two year vacation we decided to move back to the States. My Dad got a job offer in the bay area so thats where I stayed for 8th grade and all of my high school career. I lived on a little island called Alameda which is about a 5 minute car ride from Oakland and about 15 minutes from San Francisco. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Bay but ever since Junior year I just couldn't wait to get to college.
Now I'm here, studying what I want to study and leaving all that high school drama behind me. Im in the Economics group. I choose this group because it is the most relevant to my major which is business. While I was thinking about my major and what I wanted to do with my life after school I decided I didn't want to waste another four years learning about things I was never going to remember. I began looking for a major that was hirable out of college and something that was interesting to me. Through my research I found that Business is the third most hirable major. Growing up I always had little side businesses where I would sell airheads and honey buns out of my back pack. My dad would take me to Costco and I would load up on all kinds of goodies. I remember getting busted by my P.E. teacher in 8th grade for doing this. He took me to the principle and she tried to explain to me why I shouldn't do that and helped me calculate my profit. I was making a 300% profit on every box of honey buns I sold. I mean, that sounds pretty good if you ask me. So Business was always something that I was interested in so after doing my research the decision for my major became easy. I was going to study Business Administration and legally start my own business where I could make 300% profits and not be scolded. Plus, Ive been told I look good in a tie.
