Camp Fire USA -- Sometimes, all it takes is simple information, a connection to help, and a life is changed. "D" had been involved in a local United Way supported youth program through high school, and it was there she nurtured her dream of becoming a nurse. But "D’s" father just couldn’t believe the family could support her in college. The youth counselors tried to tell him that a local college could provide D grants and scholarships to make her dream possible, but it just didn’t seem possible to him. Finally, D’s father came to a family college fair sponsored by the Club. It was clear to him, then, that his daughter indeed had a good chance to train for nursing. Now, D’s is in college and loves it and she’s ready to talk with other teens about following their dreams, too.
