Peter ...
... is a senior from Gilroy, CA
... competes in the 400 meter hurdles
... has directed six short films in the past year
... is majoring in filmmaking
... always wanted to be Spiderman
... wants to win an Oscar one day
... has seven brothers and sisters
Peter believes the secret to a great life is learning true forgiveness. His motto in life is: Live for Christ.
Some fun facts about Peter are that he is a vegan, he sang at Carnegie Hall in New York, and he can beat box. Peter can also solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute.
His favorite quote is, "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
