Welcome to Scholars Spotlight that features current recipients of NE State scholarships. Meet Katie Beach who holds the Basler Incentive Endowed Scholarship.
How have you benefitted from your NE State scholarship?
The scholarship I graciously received from Northeast State, the Basler Incentive Endowed Scholarship, has financially made it possible for me to attend Northeast State for the five semesters I will need to earn my associate degree in Exercise Science. I cannot be more thankful for the support of my Northeast State scholarship and the financial stressors and worries that it lifted off my shoulders.

What factors helped you make the decision to attend Northeast State?
The first factor for me was that my three older siblings who attended Northeast State loved the college. Each day when they came back home from Northeast State, I would hear stories about their advising appointments, their professors, what they were learning in their classes, the Honors Institute, the Scholars Foundation, and the friendships they were building with their peers and the faculty and staff. When I started dual enrollment at Northeast State, I fell in love with the faculty and staff here. They made me feel welcomed and supported, and along every step of the way, they have helped me get to where I am trying to go.
Any advice on how to succeed in college?
My first advice would be to ask for help when you need it. I don’t have much experience with other colleges, but I know that here at Northeast State Community College, the faculty and staff are always ready and eager to help by giving you the information you need or pointing you to where you can find the answers you’re looking for. Another word of advice I would give is to put in your energy and effort. College is hard, but it is for you and your future. Treat it as something important, not just as an inconvenience or an obstacle. You will struggle, but the struggle will make you stronger and teach you much.
What’s been your favorite class so far? Which one has been the most challenging?
It was hard to pick a favorite class so far, but I would have to say that my favorite class I have taken so far is Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL 2010) with professor Michele Glass. The most challenging so far would have to either also be Anatomy and Physiology 1 because its the class that truly taught me how to study well and diligently in college or Composition 1 (ENGL 1010) because it’s the class that taught me how to manage my time and energy when approaching assignments.
What superpower do you wish you had?
Well, this is a very difficult question to answer. I would choose the superpower to never forget, to retain everything I learn, read, experienced, etc. Though this power would have come with hardships and drawbacks, I love to learn new things and skills. It is very frustrating to me when I know I have learned something in the past but to realize that now I have forgotten so much just with the passing of time.
