More Students

Students staff the seasonal restaurants located in tiny one main street towns along Nebraska’s hot and dry Route 30. In Oshkosh, Cheyenne is living with her father for the summer. She talks to me of her dreams of becoming a dental technician. She is bright. I encourage her to also look into four year colleges. She responds favorably adding, “I know my Dad won’t help me with the costs. He’s just a truck driver”

In Ocallala Dan tells me he has just returned from Los Angelis where he was doing standup comedy. “Ran out of money”, he remarks. “So here I am back home waiting tables. I have only 46 hours more to get a degree at the University of Nebraska. But I have got to go back to L.A. too try that comedy. If I don’t make it maybe I’ll become a lawyer”
