Lenora Daniel McWilliams had dreamed of being a nurse since childhood, and after raising her children she did just that. I started nursing school on my 45th birthday, says McWilliams, now 83. I had wanted to do it all my life, but my children came first.
She didn t tell her family when she applied for nursing school. When I got accepted you could hear me scream all over this place, says McWilliams, whose youngest child had started high school by then. I was shocked when I started hearing them all say, We ll help you.
