GRADUATES: Resilient Sisters folks adapt and overcome Continued from page 3 and beyond, Bidasolo is often running a very busy schedule with a full class load, a foot- ball ambassador position with the Oregon Duck Football team, and many other extra- curricular activities. <The social piece of school is huge for me, and it9s been a mental struggle to accept that that has been stripped away,= said Bidasolo. Bidasolo is trying to keep up with having some sort of structured schedule to her day to cope with the change being home. <I9ve learned that I have to continue to use my Google calendar and figure out a bal- ance to not work on school all day and take breaks,= she said. Bidasolo believes that after this period of isolation, it will be interesting to see what the system will look like. LOTTERY: Keno 8-Spot did the trick for Sisters woman Continued from page 3 and I thought, 8Oh, this is not good; I9ve only won $6.9 All my numbers came up and I said 8Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!9 Then I wasn9t sure it was really real. I wasn9t sure I9d really won it.= But win it she did, which was verified at Sisters Mainline Station the next day, where the clerk exclaimed <It was you?!= Hewitt claimed her prize after making an appointment with the Oregon Lottery. The Oregon Lottery offices in Salem are still closed pend- ing guidance from Gov. Kate Brown. Her first stop after claim- ing her prize at the Oregon Lottery headquarters was Joann Fabrics in Salem for more mask-making supplies. <My masks are popular, and I want to keep making them 3 and maybe some other things,= she said. As for the funds, Hewitt plans to be conservative. <It9s my retirement,= said the 65-year-old, who recently divorced. <I might buy a little camper so I can go camping and have a little fun.= <Hopefully after this time, we can assess what is truly necessary in education and the value of professor9s and stu- dent9s time,= said Bidasolo. Bidasolo has had extra time to reflect on the life she led while in Eugene and feels an immense sense of gratitude. <I ran at 100 mph during school in Eugene, with school and meetings and social- izing, and now I am able to sit and relax and breathe and appreciate that way of doing things, but also slow down and be cautious about what I add back into my schedule because I can9t continue to work that pace,= she said. Bidasolo plans to con- tinue her work as a foot- ball ambassador even with an altered football season. She is also continuing her work as executive director of Youth Movement, devel- oped by the University of Oregon9s Warsaw Sports Business Club, whose mis- sion is <to ignite a generation to be active, motivated and connected to the power of community.= It is a field day event for Native American youth, which this year went virtual to raise funds for COVID-19 relief in native communities.

Bidasolo wants to keep busy during this time, but also take time to be with her fam- ily and slow down and lighten up the crazy schedule she had kept during school. College students around the world are feeling the effects of COVID-19 in dif- ferent ways, but these Sisters High School graduates, now college students, are finding ways to adapt and embrace this time before exiting col- lege into the great big world. These students, through their own adaptation and coping mechanisms, are learning things about themselves and their ways of life and what9s truly important 4 insight that will have an effect on how they conduct themselves in the future.
