Ask around about Lindsay Baker, and the word you’ll hear most often is “focused.”
“She is really focused and hardworking,” said Rita Baker, Lindsay’s mother. “She gives everything her all. It’s just amazing.”
“She is a very impressive, talented and focused young lady,” said Candace Gordon, president of the Colorado Springs chapter of the Philanthropic Educational Organization. “She knows where she wants to go and what she needs to do to get there.”
Baker’s sense of focus is one of the qualities that impressed the P.E.O. Sisterhood, an organization dedicated to expanding women’s opportunities through education. The nonprofit recently awarded the Pine Creek High School senior with a $2,500 college scholarship, according to a recent news release.
