Christina Marie Ross (Torrie's bio)

She successfully juggles her time between playing a full time sport, keeping up her college scholarship, and giving lessons to young pitchers. This person, Christina Marie Ross, must truly be an extraordinary woman if she devotes her free time into the sports interests of today’s youth. Christina is an inspiration and roll model for all young people who aspire to be their best possible hardworking self.

Christina Marie Ross was born in September 5, 1986 at the Berugo Hills Hospital. Today she lives in Alpine, but as a child she moved from California, to Kansas, and Missouri. She lived with her Parents Herb and Ginger Ross and attended Valencia High School. Christina loved math but hated reading. In school she enjoyed the company of many friends, from all different groups. She grew up as an only child and spent a lot of time with her parents and all family on holidays she enjoys every holiday except Valentines Day. This childhood might seem a little lonely but she believes it was, “Awesome, I did not have to share with anyone.” As a young girl she played many sports, she participated in Softball, tennis, soccer and Gymnastics. Christina Ross had an active childhood, which shaped her into the woman she is today

Today Christina, living in alpine, is a woman of many values. She pursued her softball career through High School and received a full scholarship to the University of Kansas, but moved to SDSU. She was the star pitcher there for four years and loved every hardworking moment of it. She grew up with a flight attendant mom therefore she traveled often. She’s been to Holland, Greece, Eastern Europe, Prague, and Italy. When I asked her favorite she said, “Prague because of it’s fun atmosphere and culture, and Italy because of the gelato.” 24-year-old Christina, like any other college student, is still searching for that perfect career, but at the moment is managing accounts. She has yet to be married and has no children, but really her life has just begun she has many goals in mind for the future.

Christina who strives for success knows what she wants for her future. She plans to marry and wants to experience a big family since she was an only child. Christina still is unaware what career she would like to have but someday she plans to build and design her own house, but she doesn't want to grow up right now, all at once she still looks back on the old days. I asked her if she could go back and give herself some piece of advice what would it be? "Try to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up sooner, being grown up is not fun." A mistake she's made she'd want to change is she wished she would have played tennis and gone to Wimbledon. I asked her if she had some advice for the youth she said to stay in school, don't do drugs, and make sure you find time to enjoy the little things. Christina has determination and is a hard worker she thanks her parents for always being there for her they instill solid core values. Christina who has already accomplished so much still has the rest of her life ahead.

Christina Ross is a talented young woman who has a lot offer. She sets an example for whom ever she is around. Whether it be her teammates, young students, or classmates she stands above the rest.
