Jodie is married and has 3 children. When asked how she managed to be a wife, mother and full time student graduating second in her class with out getting discouraged, she replied that there had been lots of times she felt that she just couldn't do it, just could not find enough time for such a busy life. After a short pause she then said: "Every time I felt like dropping out of school, I remembered how much the Tribe has done for my family, and I just couldn't let them down. I have to repay all that they (The Tribe) have done for my family and me and someday I hope to work at the Tribal Wellness Center. The Undergraduate Scholarships I received from the Tribe have made all this possible, and for that I am forever grateful. WAWA MAH'SIE or in it's pure Salishan form... SHESHAPKE'DSHA (Thank-You!)." Jodie wishes to express a special "SHESHAPKE'DSHA'' to April and Marion in the Education Department for always being so supportive and encouraging through her endeavors.
