Wagnon, a mother of three, earned an associate’s degree from Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. She put herself through school with a tribal scholarship and by working at Haskell's mail center.
“I just thought about that degree,” Wagnon told The Lawrence Journal World. “I really strive to show that it can be done.”
