My plan from when I started planning for college was to attend Minnesota State Community and Technical College Fergus Falls. My mom started her college career at M State and was the one who suggested that I go. This allows me to stay at home and remain close with my family, while providing me with the opportunity to experience college. My family is important to me so I was grateful to have the chance to stay close to home while being able to continue my education to pursue my lifelong goals.

Dollars for Scholars board members and donors, first and foremost, thank you so much for the scholarship! My first year of college feels like itâs been going by really fast, but Iâll try to give you all a little recap of sorts.
I spent part of my summer working in Naknek, Alaska, working for a commercial salmon company. This was hard, gritty work, but I really loved it and will be returning next summer. This helped me set some money aside for tuition.
