New chapters and new beginnings give individuals a rare opportunity to reinvent themselves.
When the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, millions of people across the nation officially commit themselves to their individually defined New Year’s resolutions.
The undeniable truth is each person possesses different goals and aspirations with regard to the birth of a new year that will occur Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025.
On a recent stroll through the Tribe’s new administration building, a multitude of employees shared their New Year’s resolutions for 2025 with the Communications Department.
Roselynn Johnson (Security Officer)
“I want to work on myself and get healthy.”
Maile Baker (Mailroom Clerk)
“I want to continue learning my culture and continue going to events. I want to follow my dreams and make them come true.”
Angelina Dillon (Human Resources Assistant)
“Probably taking care of my mental health a little bit better. This year (2024) hasn’t been the best. That’s one thing on my list. I have already set up things with Kwawachee (Counseling Center), which is another entity of ours (Puyallup Tribe) to start counseling.”
James Mudd (GIS Department Director)
“My New Year’s resolution is to get our (Puyallup Tribe) aerial drone program off the ground.”
