The Canadian-American Center is creating an all-new spotlight for students from Canada. Here is our last student spotlight of the semester, Carter Barron<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter Barron is a senior Finance & Management student from Sarnia, Ontario. He chose to attend the University of Maine to see something new and try a different experience.\u00a0\u201cMy favorite thing about UMaine is all the people I\u2019ve met and gotten to know. Although, it’s kinda funny, most of my friends are actually Canadian,\u201d said Carter.\u00a0Carter chose to be a Finance major for the career opportunities in the field, and because he had an amazing high school finance teacher that influenced him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter\u2019s favorite thing about the U.S. is the career opportunities, though it is difficult being so far away from family and friends. The thing that surprised Carter the most about moving to UMaine was the lack of fast food in downtown Orono.\u00a0The things Carter misses the most in Canada are his family, friends, and Lake Huron.\u00a0When he is not in class, you can find Carter playing hockey on the Men\u2019s Club Hockey team, playing tennis, or reading Stephen King.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter is not fluent in French, but is currently taking an introductory French class and enjoys spending time in Qu\u00e9bec.\u201cCulture to me means being close and honest with my family, trying to make genuine connections with everyone I meet, having a good attitude, and respecting people even if we don\u2019t get along,\u201d said Carter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter\u2019s favorite American restaurant is Tacorita in Orono, and his favorite Canadian restaurant is Harvey\u2019s.\u00a0After graduation, Carter will be returning home for the summer, but aims to come back in the fall to work in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
