Lemont author and entrepreneur Peggy Moran knows the exact moment that triggered her decision to resume her education. It was in 2008, when her college-aged daughter was hospitalized with a life-threatening condition. “That changed the way I view the present tense,” Moran says. “Everything suddenly became more meaningful, and time became of the essence in a different way.” A little more than two years later, Moran holds a highly competitive Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.
