Meet the Gang!

In my last post, (you can access that here,) I mentioned that I have met some new friends at Ferris. I have two groups of friends, the bus riders and people that I have met in classes. I thought it was about time for you to meet them. First, starting with my bus friends or as some of us call it our bus family. This would be because we spend about 3 1/2 hours a day together riding the bus. I would consider us the kind of family that knows everything about everyone. That side of the family where there is no privacy. You know what I am talking about. 

Meet Michael. I met him the very first day I rode the bus. He has attended Calvin College for one year, yet wanted to study Pharmacy, so he transferred to Ferris. He is a friendly fellow that needs to learn more about life, learn how to listen to advice, and how to let others talk. Nonetheless, he is a good listener, a good student and in general just a nice guy.

(Sorry the picture is blurry, we were on the bus.)

Meet Isandro. I call him Izzy or Gomez. We have had lots of conversations in the past about religion, girls, boys, goals, dogs, Youtube videos, pretty much anything under the sun. We study after school, and sometimes during our breaks. We have a lot in common so that makes him really easy to talk to. He is a nice guy, easy to talk to, gives good advice, and someone who makes me laugh a lot!

Meet the twins. Mikaela and Shelby, (Shelby is on the right and Mikaela is on the left) these lovely ladies are from Cedar Springs. They enlighten the bus riders with what happens in their everyday lives. They tell us about their boyfriends, plans and work. They make the long bus ride seem short (at least until Cedar Springs). They are attached at the hip, but I don't think we would have it any other way.

Meet Brian. A father of 2, a husband and going for an automotive degree. Brian was my very first friend on the bus. He has served over seas for America's safety. (Thank You!) His occupation is a big vehicle tow trucker. He has taught me about how to put a flipped semi back upright, how to pull someone out of a ditch and he tells me facts about cars that I didn't know. (Surprise, Surprise)

That is it for the bus family.

The next two important people I have met at Ferris.

Meet Megan. I met Megan during my first semester. We just happened to be in FOUR classes together. Coincidence? I think not! Megan and I would study for hours together, quizzing each other on diagrams, notes and more DIAGRAMS! This incredible woman has taught me how to study and get good grades in really hard classes. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to see each other the whole semester as she has two jobs and goes to school full-time. 

Last, but certainly not least, my newest friend Brenden. Brenden and I met in computers. (The only class this semester I don't need.) Brenden and I have a special friendship. We do homework together until the bus comes. That is about an hour and forty-five minutes of pure homework! He has taught me so much about relationships, importance of friends in college and most of all how to have fun! He is a fun, outgoing, caring and straight forward kinda guy. Definitely, could not have survived computer class without him. Thanks Brenden!

I hope you enjoyed meeting my newest friends. I hope their will be more! Oh, life at Ferris.
