Austin Bittner
Austin Bittner is my name, academics is the game. Grand View is the school cause it’s so cool. Moving up the college chain, being a junior isn’t such a pain. I’m diggin’ into history, don’t want it to remain a mystery. Also lookin’ at religion, I still don’t get Buddha’s vision. Minoring in humanities, get’n to see the world’s past insanities. I’m involved with the History Club, rather do that than blare a sub. Part of View Crew, in case you didn’t get the clue. Workin’ as an ambassador too, multiculturalism involves all of you. Now I’m at the end of my rhyme, so hope to see you all around campus next time.
