Candice Miller this week is
joining the pre-medical school
honor society Alpha Epsilon
Delta. Miller is in her sopho
more year at the University
of Washington. She is prepar
ing for medical school.
Candice first decided to
become a doctor during her
sophomore year at Madras
I ligh School. So already she's
been pursuing her goal for
quite some time.
A humble person, Candice
does not take credit for her
many scholastic accomplish
ments. "I give credit to God.
It's not because of me or my
abilities," she says. "I le's given
me the opportunity to do this."
Candice is the daughter of
Vesta Johnson of Warm Springs
and Whitney Miller of
Pendleton. She graduated from
Madras I ligh School in 2002,
and attended Concordia College
in Portland during her freshman
year of college.
She then transferred to the
University of Washington.
"School is more challenging this
year, because last year I was at
a smaller college," she says.
I ler classes this semester in
clude organic chemistry, calcu
lus, Spanish, and a one-credit
course called "comparative
health practices of Canada and
the U.S." Miller lives in an apart
ment in Seattle, quite a change
from living in the small com
munity of Warm Springs. She
encourages anyone thinking
of going to college to make
the effort to do so. "It gives
you a larger perspective on
the world," she says.
She said that students who
are seniors in high school
should especially consider col
lege as an option. There seems
to be a stronger motivation
among high school seniors to
attend college, she said. Some
of that motivation can go
away after you graduate,
When you grow up in a small
community like Warm
Springs, she said, the experi
ence of going to college can
be especially rewarding.
Students doing well at Anadarko
Students from Warm Springs
in attendance at Riverside In
dian School in Anadarko, Okla
homa have completed their first
semester.
Newsletters were sent out to
parents of these students and
the names of honor rolls stu
dents were listed.
Students have performed well
in their academics, and also have
participated in sports and other
activities.
From the eighth grade classes
there were two students from
Warm Springs who received all
A's and B's. They were Star
Simtustus and Clarissa Wolfe.
Star Simtustus was also se
lected for the Gifted and Tal
ented Student list for her aca
demics, talent, and leadership.
From the ninth grade Alyssia
Meanus made the honor roll
having all A's and B's. From the
, tenth grade were Loricn Stacona
and Jenny VanPelt.
Stacona has completed the
volleyball season during fall
sports and is now preparing to
attend The Close Up activity in
Washington, DC. this spring.
Look for updated informa
tion from their next semester in
the future.
