My name is Chris Frechette and I was born on March 2, 1989 in Chicago. I grew up in Hammond, Indiana and attended St. John the Baptist Catholic School from preschool through third grade. My family moved to Portage, Indiana in 1998 where I attended Kyle Elementary School, Willowcreek Middle School, and Portage High School.

Over the years I have had many different hobbies and was involved with several various activities. I have played soccer, taken part in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet program, trained in Shotokan Karate and Tae Kwon Do, and played on a sponsored team in a competitive online gaming league. Currently, I like to spend most of my free time with my friends. My favorite hobbies include lifting weights at the gym, golf, basketball, and poker.

This summer, I have been working in Valparaiso University’s library, the Christopher Center. The program I’m working for is a librarian internship. This internship has taught me about much of the behind-the-scenes action in the library. It has also helped me to dispel any stereotypes associated with librarians that I have had. Overall, this has been a great experience and I have learned many skills that I can take with me to college and any time in the future that I use a library.

This fall, I will be attending DePaul University in Chicago to pursue a degree in Information Technology with a minor in Business Management. I also plan to continue my education to pursue an MBA. I hope to someday work in upper management. I enjoy working with people and I am really looking forward to going to school in the heart of Chicago. As I grow up, life gets more and more interesting. Hopefully, that trend will never end.
