I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD GET A COLLEGE DEGREE

I have been looking for years in the bookstores for a book that would validate my ability to do college work, even though all my tests showed I could not. My SAT's were very low and I was constantly being discouraged from learning. I wanted to learn and was able to learn in a seminar format but I never thought I could go to school. The author was told the same thing and received a Ph.D. This was very inspirational to me. After reading the stories in this book about people who were discouraged in the school system, I now know I can do it. I'm grateful to the author for writing this fine book.

A Must for people trying to decide on their life plan

I picked this book up at a local bookstore and was happy to see there was an updated guide on how important self-esteem was to the academic process and lists of choices of how to search out various possiblities for career choices. I always thought 4 years of college was imperative and it seems that 2 year technical schools may offer more opportunity in many cases. I also took the self-esteem inventory and the inventories on left/right brain, and learning style. I learned that the reason I loved learning now as an adult is I like to be part of the learning experience because of my learning style. A great inspirational and educational sourcebook.

A GOOD EDUCATIONAL GUIDEBOOK

I have always had trouble in school. Teachers would say that I was lazy. I was put into the "not so bright" groups but I always knew I was smart, although teachers did not make me feel that way. This book explains the need for self-esteem and how it affects learning. I learned from reading the book that I was a kinesthetic learner and I need to feel things. Listening to a teacher give out information was torture for me. This book made it okay for me to be me. A good guide for anyone who has either had a negative experience with school or is seeking advise about what to do after high school.
