Steve Zajac ‘10

I have had a pretty eventful and chaotic summer so far. Most of my days are spent working at Standard Bank, where I am a full-time teller. That job is pretty self-explanatory, but there is a lot more to it than I ever thought before I started. I am not just cashing checks and balancing the vault—although having close to $100,000 in my hands is a rockin’ feeling! I also have to interact with customers and sell them our latest products like Insurance, Mortgages, and CD rates.

In my off time I have been doing a lot of work on our 1-acre property, staying in shape, and chilling with my friends. All of the grass cutting, weed-whacking, watering, and tree chopping has given me a descent tan, and all in all I am pleased with how the yard looks. I also visited the Taste of Chicago, which I recommend everyone does at least one time. You'll find food you have never tried and normal entrªes with a bit of a twist to them. While I was in ‘Chi town,’ my friends and I stopped by Millennium Park and saw The Bean, which is a $10 million piece of art.

As for staying in shape, I have been getting in the water when I can, lifting weights a lot, and running in the mornings. I am anticipating a great season, and I cannot wait to get back and be part of a team that I know is going to turn some heads in ‘07-‘08.

Hailing from the region,
