Emori Beattie earns BSN/RN from UCO

1 month ago By News Staff
Emori (Brewer) Beattie, Canadian High School Class of 2016, graduated summa cum laude with her BSN/RN from the University of Central Oklahoma. UCO is the top nursing school in Oklahoma, and very few out-of-state residents are accepted. Because of Emori’s 4.0 grade point and entry test scores, she was accepted in 2018. She attended OSU after graduating from Canadian High School in 2016, before starting UCO in August 2018. This year took special effort to finish because of COVID. Everything was different, but through hard work and perseverance, she graduated with top honors—one of only four in her class to graduate summa cum laude.

WAITING live in West Texas. Mostly, we wait for rain. We know it will rain someday, but rain doesn’t fall when we want or need it. And West Texas weather is so fickle that when it does rain, sometimes, it falls so fast and hard, we experience floods and soil erosion. Ranchers have to rescue livestock, and famers can’t plow muddy fields. Waiting for rain has forged us into patient skeptics. That rare quirk comes in handy these days. A patient skeptic is what one needs to be when it comes to getting a COVID vaccination.

CHRISTMAS SONGS along with “Auld Lang Syne” are the only songs we hear and sing once a year. Hoping to write about the most popular carols, I discovered songs I had never heard of on the many lists of Most Popular Christmas Songs. Even when I listened to them on YouTube, they were unfamiliar. Can you sing a verse of “Purple Snowflakes” or “Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects?” Songs by Justin Bieber, Kelly Clarkson, and Ariana Grande made most of the lists. The Good Housekeeping list suggested songs by the Jonas Brothers, John Legend, Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears.
