Brightyn met Talia back in 5th grade when they played “My Stinky Shoe” during Intermediate School orientation. They didn’t really see each other much until 7th/8th grade band when we reconnected and quickly became best friends. Now, Talia missed Brightyn SO much in college that she followed Brightyn to Carroll for the same degree *winky face*. It has been a blessing!

Meeting in the most boring college class “Technical Reporting”, Keagan and Nathaniel would get paired up to present a group report. However, during that class we came to find common interests such as, working the same type of classic car, and playing Minecraft. These things are still being done together today, making their friendship a lasting one.

Keagan and Stephen have been friends since day one. Meeting in kindergarten, these two would go through all of grade school together, split paths in highschool, but still bond by working on cars, playing video games, and eating out whenever they’re in town together. Stephen also taught Keagan how to solve a Rubik’s cube…. so that's pretty cool.
