Dixie has faced the heartbreaking loss of her best friend, her wrestling coach, and her grandfather to suicide. Rather than turning away, she plans to pursue a degree in psychology at Missouri Valley College, moving toward the very thing that hurt her most so she can help others. This amazing young woman competed in softball, wrestling, baseball, track, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball and football—and carried a 4.0 GPA. Her coach describes her as a true trailblazer who carries profound loss without losing herself. What an incredible example of resilience for all of our kids!"
