College Spotlight:
She does ponytails, horse shows
By REBECCA WELLS
Styling hair - on both humans
and animals - has been one of Ka-
tie Mak's hobbies for a very long
time. Now it's also one of" her ca-
reer possibilities.
"When I was little I liked try-
ing to braid hair and messing with
hair and I always liked playing
with my mom's hair and making it
look cute," Katie recalls.
Then, when her cousin became
a hairstylist and did her hair for
a few school dances, Katie decided
to enroll in Quality Beauty Col-
lege in Olympia. Since she was a
high-school junior at the time, she
studied through New Market Vo-
cational Skills Center in Tumwa-
ter.
In contrast to high school, beau-
ty college took place in the after-
noon, running until 5 p.m. from
Tuesday through Saturday.
"WHILE EVERYONE was at
home on Saturdays, I was still at
school," she recalls. Not only did
she have to get used to no longer
having all weekends free, she also
had to adjust to being off on Mon-
day, even though all her friends
were at school, so it didn't really
tbel like a day off.
Learning how to style hair made
it all worthwhile in the end.
"I don't like the chemical part
of it," she says. "I like doing the
cuts and styles. That's my favorite
part." Plus, her instructors also
taught her how to do manicures,
pedicures and facials. By the time
she finished the course, she was
ready to take her state board tests
and now she's qualified to apply
for her license in the cosmetoloky
field.
Katie then put together a port-
folio of everything she'd learned in
beauty college and presented it as
her cumulative senior project be-
fore she graduated from Shelton
High School last month.
WHILE SHE'S working at
Burger King right now, she's also
looking into pursuing a business
degree in order to have the op-
tions of either working in an office
or opening her own beauty salon
some day.
So this fall she'll be continuing
her education at Olympic College
Shelton, staying close to home. Tu-
ition for her first year of commu-
nity college is practically already
covered. Her uncle will pay for her
first semester and then she plans
to use a $200 scholarship she won
from the Mason County 4-H Lead-
ers to help pay tbr her second se-
mester. Katie was one of four re-
cipients of the 4-H scholarships.
"I was pretty excited that I got
one of them," she says. Katie has
actually belonged to 4-H for 11
years and had so much tim, she
was very sad to wind up her final
year in the program as she gradu-
ated from high school. She actu-
ally managed to surprise her mom
by sticking with 4-H all through
high school, instead of getting dis-
tracted with other activities, as
her mother had expected.
She has been a member of
Night Riders, a horse club in 4-
H. Aside from having fhn riding
horses, club members also learn
about safety and education, poirlts
out Katie. Katie has a 4-year-old
quarter horse officially named
"Ellie," but nicknamed "Noodle,"
whom she's raised and cared for
since the horse was a year old,
though her family now owns about
10 horses.
"SHE'S MY LITTLE experi-
ment, because my parents, they
raise Tennessee walkers and they
also have a small draft horse,"
Katie says. Her parents are Lau-
rie Mak-Hebden and Hans Mak.
So since Katie had been used to
gaited horses before she had her
quarter horse, which is calm and
collected by nature, training with
Ellie has been a learning expe-
rience for both horse and rider.
Knowing they would have to learn
A BUSINESS DEGREE will help Katie Mak in a number of
different career goals, including perhaps opening her own
beauty salon some day. A 4-H scholarship will help make
her professional ambitions possible.
together is part of the reason why
Katie wanted to buy her horse as
young as Ellie was.
Last year they competed at the
Mason County Fair for the first
time.
"She did really, really well, con-
sidering she had hardly any prior
training," Katie considers. They
competed in green horse, peribr-
mance and gaming categories. This
year, Katie also tried out for the
Mason County Rodeo Court, using
her 4-H leader's seasoned gaming
horse, who is a competition vet-
eran and more used to traveling
with other animals. Since 4-H has
just ended for her, Katie thought
rodeo court would be a good way
to still participate in horse-related
activities.
Her family has a history with
4-H, since her mother also be-
longed to the program when she
was a little girl. As an adult, her
mother endorses the program as
an effective way to learn respon-
sibility. Her mother also happens
to be a tbster parent and automati-
cally makes every foster child who
enters her home a member of the
Night Riders 4-H club.
HER 4-H CLUB participated
in Cowgirl Spirit, an organization
that rescues starvinghorses that
would normally end up auctioned
off to meat companies due to their
poor health. Instead, this group
bids on the sickly horses and nurs-
es them back to health.
Katie's 4-H club paid a visit to
one of the organization's barns lo-
cated in Issaquah. Being involved
with this group really opened Ka-
tie's eyes. Previously, she had as-
sumed all horses were as fat and
happy as her own, not having ex-
perienced trauma as those she en-
countered in Cowgirl Spirit had.
"It gives you another look on
how animals are really treated
in some situations," Katie adds.
Once these horses recover from
their health conditions, the orga-
nization adopts them out to select
owners.
BESIDES SHOWING her
horse, Katie would eventually like
to also compete in big-breed dog
shows, since she has fun grooming
animals. In fact, when she reached
a point in beauty college where she
was starting to burn out styling
hair, she's joked about becoming
a profbssional dog groomer just for
kicks.
"I just want to go and show and
have fun, 'cause I'm one of those
people where I enjoy competing,
but it's only fun if you have fun
while competing," she says.
However, though she enjoys
competing, she also appreciates
being a spectator. For instance,
during high school, she took part
in marching band and flag team
competitions, but also spent time
on the sidelines as an officer in
Pep Club, a wrestling team man-
ager and then as a cheerha(ter.
"I try being involved with sports,
but I don't like doing sports. I'm
more like the person who likes
watching them and being more
of a spectator and a supportive
crowd," she explains. Even be-
fore high school, Katie had been a
Kings cheerleader as a little girl.
"I THINK I STILL have one of
my little Kings uniforms and it's
so tiny," she says. "You can't be-
lieve how tiny you used to be. It's
so crazy!"
Going into her freshman year,
she didn't make the team when
she tried out, and then she simply
didn't have time to try out again
until she was about to be a senior.
And that's when she qualified tbr
the junior varsity cheer squad.
"I've always been told I would
be a good cheerleader because I'm
generally pretty loud," she notes.
