Olivia Vernon likes a challenge.  As a military kid, she's learned the importance of change and how it helps you grow.  Listen as she shares how the CSforAll program through her JROTC helped her become the first female from Oklahoma's Edmond High School to attend the Air Force Junior ROTC Cyber Academy. Also joining her is her AF JROTC instructor, Major Weingaertner, who discusses the importance of this program and others, all which can truly impact a student's future.
