From Chemistry to Sociology to BioMed this kid 'worked so hard, (and) forgot how to vacation.'   Of course if you want to one day become a physician, vacations are only a fantasy when the you're too busy making a dream happen!    Shawndeena will be graduating with honors from Northern Arizona University in a few weeks.  She will have a brief break before continuing her pursue of becoming a doctor.  

When we started out the session, there was some reluctance, some shyness, but as she viewed more and more images via the back camera screen, she let down the guard.  So many of the session images show movement and enthusiasm.   At the end of the session she noted that she wished she could stay dressed in her traditional outfit, which no doubt made her feel invisible and full of energy; protection and energy, that only our Dine culture could instill.  She is determined to be among the few that will challenage themselves become healers. 

"Now... (we) ...say congratulations", take a breather, regroup, reflect and power forward!  Wishing you the best!!
