An Insightful and Invaluable Guide

"Surviving Senior Year" is insightful guide for college bound high school students, parents, guidance counsellors, and college placement officers. With a thorough, methodical, and step by step approach, the author guides the reader through a difficult and intimidating process which can be daunting to the novice. As a parent, "Surviving Senior Year" has been an invaluable tool in helping me choose the right college environment for my child. Thank you Ms. keene.

Pleasure or pain: organziation can make a difference

Surviving the Senior Year is a pragmatic tool designed to provide structure to and reduce the abiguity of one of the most chaotic but important years in a teen's life. Knowing what to expect and how to anticipate the events and issues around senior year greatly improves the experience for both parents and the graduate. Keene provides a concise one-stop overview of the academic and social considerations and demands using an action oriented step-by-step approach. The book provides a framework and timetable, which if followed, avoids much of the last minute nerve racking hassle of the time. That alone makes it worth its weight in gold.

Surviving Your Senior Year Has Saved my Life!

Before I discovered the book Surviving Your Senior Year I was in a panic. As a new senior mother I wasn't clear on all of the things needed for my son to have a successful senior year; nor was I aware of all of the information I would find myself bombarded with. I begin to think what kind of parent am I? I don't really have a good handle on this process. Several months ago a dear friend suggested I get the book Surviving Your Senior Year.After reading this book, I can't tell you what a tremendous impact this has had on our family for the planning and organization of our son's senior year.Ms. Keene has done an excellent job laying out all of the tasks that need attention. I love the notebook approach to her book. I have used the suggested approach on developing a "To DO" list and the "Clutter Control System." Prior to reading this, we were literally filing any and all college information in a file cabinet for review later! We now have a very organized college file system. What I enjoy most are the practical ideas and suggestions offered by the author. We have also given our son his personal copy to use as he prepares to meet the senior year deadlines of his high school.Surviving your Senior Year provides tips on meaningful activities you can do to make this a smoother transition for the entire family! I would highly recommend this book to those senior parents seeking to effectively guide and manage their senior through this very important process.
