Kayden Irene Unzelman, is also known as “Kay” to her friends and “Katie Bug” by her loving family. Kayden’s family consists of dad (Bryan), mom (Suzanne), step-dad (Glen), 2 little brothers (Glen and Urijah), older sister (Stormy), and a younger sister (Belle). Kayden also likes to think the ten neighborhood cats are family, as well as her raccoon named Rocket who sadly passed (rest in peace, Rocket). Kayden lives in Howard, and when asked if she could live anywhere in the world she chose to stay in South Dakota. “I really enjoy the small town community. Plus, I am really bad at driving.”
Kayden loves art and anything art related. Art is something that comes very easily to Kayden and she loves spending hours upon hours drawing and coloring. Surprisingly, art is not Kayden’s favorite subject in school. Kayden doesn’t enjoy school, but if she had to pick her favorite class she would say anything ag related, but “definitely not math.” Other than art Kayden also enjoys hanging out with her boyfriend. They like to watch movies, go to the gym, and they also enjoy playing chess against each other.
In ten years, Kayden sees herself being married with four kids. Kayden plans to go to DSU for college and become a 3rd grade elementary teacher because “third graders are all very nice.” Having a job and making money is very important in Kayden’s life as she currently works at the Howard Golf Course, but if she had five million dollars to spend she would pay off bills and become a stay-at-home wife. Kayden's advice to underclassmen would be to try new things even if you don’t think that you will like it.
