Student tells mother's saga on MPR

By David Gonnerman '90
January 4, 2010

Mara Fink '11, who interned with Minnesota Public Radio News this fall, has filed an MPR story about a life-threatening ski accident that her mother survived 11 years ago, and the effect it's had on their family. "My mom's accident has taught me that I need to love myself for who I am, not what I've accomplished," she says. "Because when it really comes down to it, our accomplishments can be gone in the blink of an eye and we'll be stripped down to the people we really are."
