To represent a college track team was a dream come true, and it took her a step closer towards her goal of becoming a professional runner. She felt like nothing could hold her back. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Her college career started as she had hoped, with immediate success on and off the track. Then, one night during the Christmas holidays her sophomore year, she was kidnapped at gunpoint and gang raped by three men. Suddenly, her life was turned upside down, and she and others wondered if she would ever find her way back to a normal life; however, Monika was determined. In the police car on the way to the hospital that night, she made the decision to not let that event destroy or define her life - she would fight until she felt whole again. She would survive.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> After assisting with the convictions of her three assailants, Monika bravely came forward to make her voice heard. In doing so, she turned tragedy into a message of survival and hope for anyone who has suffered through trauma or setbacks. She founded "The Monika Korra Foundation", whose mission is to create awareness of the prevalence and effects of sexual assault and to provide a place of healing for victims.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Kinya Meineke</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>, M.A.g.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Counselor/Advisor<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Student Support Services<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Eastern Oklahoma State College<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:yellow'>“</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#FFCC00'>Your Tomorrow Begins Today”</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:yellow'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>918.465.1822<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
