Kate Johnson

A Closer Look at the Life and Personality of Kate Johnson

Katherine May Johnson, commonly referred to by her friends as “Kate”, is a very outgoing individual who has lived in a variety of places in South Dakota. Her main area of residence has been in Madison; however, she lived in Brookings from preschool through 2nd grade, Huron for a brief time, and even Sioux Falls. She currently lives in Madison with her family: mom, dad, and two sisters as well as her two dogs, cat, and fish. If Kate could live anywhere in the world she would pick right where she is. Kate loves the Midwest and plans to live here because she enjoys her freedoms and the people here.

One item Kate can’t live without is her Bible. Without her Bible she wouldn’t have a purpose and so she views it as a necessity for life. Another thing she would hate to live without would be horses; Kate loves horses, she says “I recommend riding horses, they are awesome!!!!”. Horses have always been a big part of her life; her favorite pastime is riding horses, but she also enjoys relaxing with her family, going for boat rides, and swimming. If she had 5 million dollars to spend she would buy a particular ranch outside of Yankton and buy horses to go with it. If Kate could play the role of any character, she would choose to be a cowgirl because she thinks it would be fun, and she already knows what to do.

Kate doesn't really have a favorite subject, but if she were hard-pressed to pick one she would choose math because it is an easier subject for her and there is always an answer. She currently works as a Pharmacist Technician and her favorite part about her job is the paycheck.  In the coming years, Kate plans to attend SDSU for pharmacy school and when she thinks about her life 10 years from now she hopes to have horses, a husband, and babies. She would like to leave underclassmen with this great advice, “Be flexible, life constantly changes and you have to be flexible/able to adapt and stay positive.”
