By Bruce Engle Page 9 Two were about exercise and fitness. They got to the te a c h e r an d co ach in my rounded body. O ne was about doing well on the job and. another was about getting o ut o f tribal debt. Loan Officers like that kind o f thinking. O ne was hoping for a new com m unity center and an other wished for world and rez peace. And one was about earning an Associate’s Degree an d th e n g o in g o n fo r a B a c h e lo r’s D eg ree. W ho C ouldn’t su p p o rt th o se wishes? T h ey are all g o o d , b u t there was another that really caught my eye. It tugged at all my heart strings. For that one, I am declar ing the first annual “Pre E n tre p re n e u rs h ip — D o e s n ’t N eed A B uffalo To B urp Award,” and I am giving it to the person whose wish I have not yet mentioned. T h a t w o u ld be L indy W alker. H e r aw ard is fo r working and saving. The working is chores. The saving would be for credits toward a Barbie. T h at’s her wish and her plan; She set her goal and she is working her plan. She is do ing it the old fashioned way; she’s earning it. T he end result will be a goal realized. Loan officers like th at. So do teach ers, coaches, and talent scouts. Maybe I ’ll get a call to fi n an ce h er first lem o n ad e stand. I ’d like that.
