someone that really wants to make a difference, and sees each other as a family. Everyone that comes to our meetings is really part of our big family, from freshmen to seniors.”
What is your favorite memory from the club?
“One time Coltan Grabau, did this skit in front of the class, all pertaining to FCA, and he was sleeping and had someone in the back of the room act like his Mom. This woman said ‘Coltan get up for FCA!’ and Coltan just layed on the couch repeating ‘give me a couple more minutes to sleep!’. Then out of nowhere he goes ‘Wait, Coltan is speaking!’, talking about himself in the third person, gets up and knocks over everything on the whiteboard. Like all of the markers were on the floor, all the chairs were flipped over, and all of Mrs. G’s personal items were all over the floor. So, this is one of the many favorite memories I have from the club.”
