The North Dakota I Remember -- Sort Of -- April 4, 2016

From The Dickinson Press:

WATFORD CITY, N.D. – There’s no such thing as sleeping in for Watford City teenager Rebecca Campbell.

The 17-year-old high school senior operates her own bakery, running the business while juggling classes and after-school activities.

The business, B-Bonks Bakery, grew out of a lemonade stand Campbell ran last summer on Watford City’s Main Street.

She told customers she dreamt about someday putting the profits toward her own bakery. Their enthusiasm for the idea led Campbell to pursue a permanent business last fall.

There are so many story lines in this story, can't even begin:

Campbell was homeschooled and didn’t have many credits left to take this year to graduate in May. She also takes an online course through Williston State College.

After school and on Saturdays, Campbell participates in track, speech tournaments and rehearsals for an upcoming school musical.

“It really isn’t that hard to juggle all of this,” Campbell said. “It’s what I love to do, so it’s a lot easier than you think.”

Campbell credits her parents with supporting her dream, including loaning her money for the bakery. The family moved from Ann Arbor, MI, for better work opportunities in Watford City, in the heart of the Bakken Oil Patch.
