Get to know a Harbortown Hermans Scholar! Meet Tawny Plentyhorse, a graduate of Denfeld High School and planning to enter the fields of political and legal studies at Hamline University.
Tawny's entire family has contributed to her success and helping her achieve her goal of becoming a civil rights attorney and possibly a future US Senator or Representative! "Sadly my parents nor my grandparents went to college and my older brother who was going dropped out. I’m the first in my family who actually wants a college education and they are always pushing me to achieve all my goals and as my grandma says 'be a better person than the people that came before you'."
What personality trait that you have do you feel will help you be successful in your college career and why?
"I’m very observant as strange as that sounds. Growing up I wasn’t much of a talker and I wouldn’t say anything to anyone unless I absolutely has to. This allowed me to pick up on all the little things, I’d hear and see things I wasn’t necessarily supposed to. This allowed me and still does, to see things from a different perspective and to look at life differently. I always end up looking at the bigger picture and think about how every choice I make affects me and the people in my life and I think that’s a great quality to have going into college."
Congratulations Tawney and best of luck at Hamline in the fall!
