MICHIGAN CITY – Nikki Dopka is tough enough to pull a semi, and is strong enough to motivate a whole generation.
Dopka, 43, is an eighth grade math teacher at Krueger Middle School. She also once pulled a semi as a physical training challenge.
When she pulled the semi truck, she first thought it was going to be hard. It was hard, but when she did it she got a lot of confidence.
“I talk about that with my students to let them know all things are possible,” Dopka said.
