Dare to Dream is the inspiring true story of how one determined single mother transformed her life and her children's future through the power of education and scholarships.
At thirty-three, Shay Spivey was divorced, underpaid, and overwhelmed. With two young daughters to raise and bills piling up, she sat crying in a parking lot, wondering if her life would ever change. Then came a decision that shifted everything: she would return to college. With no savings and no safety net, Shay discovered a new path, over $100,000 in scholarships and free financial aid that allowed her to graduate with both a bachelor's and a master's degree, all without student loan debt. In this book, Shay shares her personal journey of resilience and hope, along with the proven strategies she used to win scholarships, balance motherhood with academics, and break free from the cycle of poverty. Whether you are a single parent, an adult returning to school, or simply someone who believes it's too late to pursue your dreams, Dare to Dream will show you why it is never too late to change your path and rewrite your story. More than a memoir, this is a roadmap. Proof that with persistence, faith, and a plan, your dreams are still possible. If you've ever wondered whether you can afford to go back to school, or whether your best days are behind you, let this book be your answer. It's never too late. Your story is still unfolding. Dare to Dream.Also from
