Hello my name is Matt Cruse. I am 21 years old. I don't have any hobbies or interest during the school year, because i work full time at an envalope factory in Nevada, and I go to school full time. I am also in the Army Reserves, and have been for over 4 years. I don't get much time to myself, and any free time I do have, I just bum around with some friends and enjoy a few drinks.

My name is Bonnie Mills. I moved to Ames in 2004, and attended Gilbert High School. There I was involved in a variety of sports such as basketball, softball, cross country, and track. I also joined the Ames swim team my senior year just to change things up a bit. I am now a freshman and have yet to decide what to do with my life, but no worries I still have time to figure that out. As for now I enjoy going to concerts and clubs to dance the night away. I'm always up for an adventure whether it be three in the afternoon or three in the morning.

Hello everyone,
I'm having a hard time getting used to the weather here in Iowa, but I'm really enjoying my experience at DMACC. My name is Ilsa and I'm from Nassau, Bahamas. This Composition class like many of the others is good, because it seems like both the attitude and intent of the teachers and the curriculum is to ensure our success. It's good to be in an environment totally geared towards our success. So I'm excited about this class and its implications for my future.
