Cover Feature “As a kid, every time I heard a plane, my focus would shift from whatever it was that I was doing straight to the sky. Finally, after years of wondering what it was like being able to fly, I decided to take a chance and at least try. During my first flight lesson, I found what I was looking for. Since then, the lessons that I’ve learned in the air and about life have been unreal. I’ve also met people who genuinely are leaving an impact on my life. BRCC allows me to do this right here at home and save a lot of money.” – Daniel Camden
