For Counselors

"When my counselor told me I had been nominated for the Morehead-Cain, I said, 'No thanks.'

He said, 'Just take a look at it.'

I did and it was like cold water being dumped on me. Like an awakening.

Looking at what the Morehead-Cain was, what it offered, I immediately shifted from 'no thanks' to:

'If I'm lucky enough to get this, I have to take it.'"
