State University, one of the top 10 Universi

ate scholarship awarded to Jodie by the Con
federated Tribes of Grand Ronde, she hopes
to receive her Masters in Occupational
Therapy by the year 2004. 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.
