KIPLING - Dixie Corscadden graduated Grade 12 on June 10 from Kipling School, which she had attended since kindergarten.
Corscadden has lived in the Windthorst area her entire life, living with her parents Kurk and Christine Corscadden and older sister Angela.
During her school years, Corscadden always loved math and science but has a passion for hockey.
Corscadden played hockey for several years, but last year she played centre for the Carlyle Wildcats U18 A team. She does not have a favourite NHL team, but just loves to watch the games.
She graduated with distinction, having a 90-95 per cent average.
She spends a great deal of time helping with the Corning Theatre. Being a little shy, she does not take part in the play but does help in the kitchen and serves the guests that attend. She also helps with cleanup and anything else they ask for her help with.
Corscadden also works during the summer at a family farm near her acreage home. She tends to the children, mows the lawn and if need be, goes to the barn to clean stalls.
“It does not matter what I do, as long as I am doing something,” she said.
Access Communications offers scholarships to those that do volunteer time in their communities and Corscadden loves to help out.
The night of her graduation, she received a scholarship from Access Communications and the Andre’s Trucking Math Award. She also received the Knights of Columbus, Windthorst Council Award.
To top it off, she received an entrance award to the University of Saskatchewan.
Taking a four-year degree for a bachelor of bio-medical science, she hopes to get into becoming a doctor, but she is open to becoming a physiotherapist as well.
Either way her career takes her, she plans to stay in the small rural areas, once she has completed the needed degrees in her career.
