It is the year 2040. What are you doing and how will you meet this objective in the next 15 years? With a record number of applications and essays, the board had a difficult decision to make. Many occupations were mentioned including massage therapist, veterinarian, dentist, dental hygienist, nurse, paramedic, and rancher. This year’s winning essay was by Kendra Tooke. Kendra would like to study exercise science and better yet, she says in 15 years she hopes to be living in Ekalaka.
