new school he has to choose a concertation for his electives; he picked T.V., Film, and Radio. Maybe he is related to his sisters after all. He worked hard to earn a starting position on his new football team and he found out how serious southern people are about their high school football teams. By the way, Wyatt’s football team has already started training for next fall! Cheyenne is a senior at Bemidji State University. She will graduate next December—with two majors and a minor, two years early. She is looking at several graduate schools, but I believe the University of Minnesota is still the favorite finalist. She is pursuing two Ph.D.’s in English and Writing and wants to become a college professor at a University. She is currently a paid tutor at the BSU Writing Resource Center. She stays busy with her Honors Program thesis project and as a member of the BSU Phoenix. Cheyenne stays in Bemidji during the summer months and works as a residence advisor for student housing; she was recently promoted to A.R.H.D. (Assistant Residential Hall Director) for next summer. She loves Bemidji, and it’s safe to say she may return to the frozen tundra after graduate school. As for me, I am semi-retired…or that’s what I call it. I am skilled in two areas; unfortunately, both areas of expertise receive horrible compensation in the Land of Dixie. Additionally, I want some flexibility to go north if the girls need me. So, I have decided to start my own business and do a bit of…

Patient-centered holistic care has always been the largest aspect of healthcare I wanted to be the foundation of my career. I was accepted to the Bemidji State University Nursing Program with the excitement of learning nursing skills and tools to develop nurse-patient relationships. Bemidji State University introduced to me several areas of patient-centered holistic care including, “mind-body-spirit-emotion-environment” (Klebanoff and Hess, 2013) and it motivated the need to continue educating…

by car, but a accident at a curve in the road called Dead Man’s curve stopped traffic. Citizens had to run but they could not outrun the fire.

I met Andrea Seaberg two years ago when she was a senior at Detroit Lakes High School. She had been placed to work with me (a second grade teacher) from her School-To-Work advisor after she had told her that she was interested in becoming a teacher someday. Andrea and I hit it off immediately. She had the same love and energy that I feel I have as an educator. Needless to say, when she asked me to be her mentor throughout her schooling at Bemidji State University, I was thrilled. We met on a…

Having lived in a country of over a billion, I pride myself on my adaptability. We moved twice in the past four years and that required adapting to a whole new environment quickly. This was challenging. Our first move was international, the second within Minnesota. The first time I moved, I had never set foot on US soil. The idea of going to a new school, making new friends, and getting used to a new culture overwhelmed me. I pride myself on my social skills which helped me get accustomed to…

This defines my Dad. Choosing a college was really difficult for me. I had a hard time choosing what I wanted, my Mom wanted me to play tennis, and my cousins wanted me in Fargo. My Dad did go to Bemidji way back when, so underneath I knew he wanted me at BSU. He had the biggest influence on me because he kept telling me “when the time is right, you’ll know your decision and what you want.” He put full faith in where I’ll go in life and supported me through every step. Through this my Dad and I…

However, it also brings tension and racism along with it. We all come from many different cultures, some being pretty similar and some being completely different. Sense we come from different cultures and races we all believe in different ideas and beliefs.
