And School Began.

Hey Guys,

My name is Pedro Bueno and I am a junior math/physics major here at MCM. I am currently a member of the Ko Sari Fraternity and the newest member to the Tour Guide Staff. I was born in Acapulco, Mexico and raised in Houston, TX.  I graduated from Eisenhower High School where I was involved in Student Government (President), Spanish Club (President), NHS, SNHS, NAHS, Principal Students Advisory Committee, and Cross Country. Once senior year hit, I was excited to finally finish High School but was stressed with all the AP courses I was taking. Then, after a blink of an eye, I was saying my speech at graduation in front of over 2500 people. Once the summer came, it was time to get ready for college. I was already accepted to both Sam Houston State and McMurry University, but before I made a decision I had to visit the schools. Evidently McMurry was further than Sam Houston, but believe me the tour was worth the 6 hours on the road. The tour guides were both friendly and informative which made the tour go a lot smoother. With these positive contributions to my tour, I definitely felt the home-like atmosphere from all of the students that were still here for the summer. After spending a couple of hours here in Abilene, I was certain that my decision was to come to Abilene and attend McMurry University. When I arrived here, I was not so sure because no one from my high school had chosen this school. I was basically a lonely guy in the city of Abilene. Then, it was time for Vision Quest and it was a memorable experience where I met some of my best friends. Throughout the year I became involved in campus activity board (CAB), Religious life, intramurals, and in the spring pledged the Ko Sari Fraternity. Once the first year was over, I decided to stay in Abilene and move into the Campus Apartments where I also met many students that I had seen before around the campus. Now, I am in my second year of college and already a junior, thanks to my AP teachers, just enjoying my time here and making every minute count.
