Tribal teen sets his own goals
Seventeen year old JEREMY HALLER
knows the meaning of responsibility. He
has spent the past two years proving that to
his parents and his teachers at Willamina
High School.
As captain of Willamina's football team
and active participant in school activities,
Jeremy was a Sheridan Sun Athlete of the
Week last fall after a superior game against
Taft. He plays guard and tackle for the
team. His participation in sports hasn't de
tracted from his school work, either. Jer
emy maintains a 3.4 GPA, and was listed in
the 1996 Who 's Who Among American High
School Students almanac.
So when he decided to get a part-time job
in order to earn money to buy himself a
truck, his parents were all for it.
He worked at Fort Hill Texaco gas sta
tion for ten months, and finally saved
enough for a down payment on a truck,
which he refers to as "my baby."
He is currently employed at the Ca
sino as a Dish Machine Operator, and
works in the afternoons and on week
ends to earn enough for that truck pay
ment. "This summer, I'll go full-time at the
Casino," he said. Jeremy said he usu
ally gives most of his paycheck to his
parents, who helped him get financing
for his truck, and plans to have it paid
for by the time he enters college in
1998.
"I also pay my own gas and insur
ance," said Jeremy. He and his dad
work together on it when it needs main
tenance. Jeremy did take some of his earn
ings and bought a satellite system so
he could watch all the sports channels,
and said that if he had his way, it would
be tuned in to ESPN ninety percent of the
time. In fact, Jeremy loves sports so much,
he plans on making a career out of it.
"I have been thinking about sports medi
cine," he said. "There are good schools in
Oregon for that program. Whatever I de
cide I know I'll work in the sports profes
sion though."
The Hallers are a very close family, and
Jeremy's grandparents, Pete and Val Grout,
encourage leadership qualities in all their
grandchildren. There is no doubt that
Jeremy's parents, Timothy and Janell
Haller, are comfortable will all of the com
mitments he has, as well. With all of his
obligations school, sports, work, family
Jeremy has never let down the people
who count on him. He's just a natural born
leader who sets an example for all of us.
