Hey there! Before I jump into the details of my blog, I wanted to share a little bit about myself, and my purpose for writing this as well. My name is Madison Beckler, and I am from Bismarck, North Dakota. I am the youngest of four siblings, two brothers and one sister. I have 4 nieces and nephews. In May of 2022 I graduated from St. Mary’s Central High School, our class was relatively small, roughly 80 students. Some of my hobbies include listening to music, being outdoors and scrolling on Pinterest for recipes and DIY projects. My time outside is spent at my family’s cabin on Lake Tschida. There I like to kayak, paddle board, go on boat rides, jet ski, fish, and relax with my family. My family is very important to me, and I spent a lot of time with both my immediate and extended family. I also try to live my life being the best person I can be, helping others when I can and even holding onto some core values that help me to be the best version of myself. Some of the values I rely heavily on include integrity, honestly, kindness, compassion, and discipline.
This year I am a freshman at Dickinson State University (DSU). I am studying Biology and Chemistry as I hope to go to medical school. I am also a member of the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program, and will graduate with a Leadership Studies minor. One of the main reasons I chose to come to DSU was because of TRHLP, the scholarship in and of itself is a great thing, but all the leadership skills and connections I will make are even more valuable than an essentially discounted education. I also liked the small school feeling and being able to be in small classes was something I wanted - especially coming from a relatively small high school - I knew it would be a benefit.
As part of the TRHLP, showcasing leadership is a priority, in this self help blog, I hope the capitalize on the topic, bringing in aspects of Theodore Roosevelt’s life, as well as anecdotes from my own experiences to bring to light and hopefully help others with something that isn’t a one-size-fits-all issue. My inspiration for this blog is based on my last years of high school and first year of college, specifically the trials, errors and failures from these formative years of my life. It was through some of my core values, especially integrity to help to get where I am now. Throughout this blog, I want to share stories and information that can help others stay motivated through the inevitable issue of failure. I want to not only give information, but also help to change the mindset. So many people view failure as a defining characteristic, but in reality, it can be so much more. Failure can be a person’s largest reason for success when they use it to their advantage. In the proper mindset, failure can be a great tool.
