Impressions.

This is a list of people that I have met at or through Hillsdale over the past 3 years that have made a lasting impact on my life, heart and soul.

(In alphabetical order).

Andrew Brooks-I wasn't close to Andrew but his life and his death have impacted me greatly. I can't explain the things that I have learned from him through this tragic ordeal that we have all had to deal with. I'll never forget this kid.
Bethany-She quickly became my best friend. I love her for so many reasons.
Bob-He became my Hillsdale dad.
Christa-She makes me giggle. She also sings like a little angel.
Colin-This Canadian has helped me out a lot. He's fixed my car numerous times, fixed my faucet and put in new flooring in my apartment. Thanks Colin!
Dan-He's been a shoulder, an ear and a friend for quite some time now. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.
Dakotah-We have a crazy amount of stuff in common. He understands all of my strange quirks.
Denny-Out of all the classes I've taken at HC I remember his Apologetics class most vividly.
Eric-This guy just makes me smile. He's awesome. BFF.
Heather-I met her through Bethany. She makes me LAUGH!
James-James...we connected from the very second we met. A half a summer of hanging out felt like a lifetime of friendship.
Josiah-I found the love of my life. Finally. He's patient and loyal and I can't believe he puts up with me. He is also VERY talented and SUPPORTIVE.

Kelly-She was the best lab partner I ever had. I very much admire her honesty.
Lyndsey-We started out friends...became (almost) enemies...and now she's one of my best friends and my soon-to-be roomie!
Michelle-This little lady is one of the strongest women I know. I admire her strength.
Mike-Mike Dee is a very talented dude. He has touched my heart with his talent that he uses for God's glory.
The Myers Family-Kenny, Gina, Anna, Allie and Aubrey. This family is my favorite. I miss them all!
Rocky-This guy is very talented. We traveled for a couple of months together in New Life and built a friendship. He's great!
Ryan-Oh Ryan. We've traveled together for 6 semesters and a summer (about to be 2 summers). I love him and his family AND his church family dearly.
Sammie-Sammie was my small group leader my last semester at Hillsdale. She is one of the sweetest women I've ever met.
Sarah-I connected w/ Sarah during small group one day. She was struggling with some of the same issues that I was. Missing home and family.
Taylor-Taylor and I grew apart...but he still impacted my life. He still has a special spot in my heart.
Troy-Though we haven't seen one another in over 2 years he still remains a good friend.



I'll probably end up adding more people to this list. It's late and I can't think clearly.
To all those that read this...I love you all. Thank you for all that you have done for me
over these past couple of years. I wouldn't change a minute of my time at Hillsdale. I've
learned a lot from all of you. Each one of you have made a lasting impression on my life for different reasons. I will never forget any of you.
