My Take on the Book
This is a great book that really pulled together not only the author's own experiences, but beyond this, it provides the reader with amazing ideas and resources. I could easily see this being given as a graduation gift because it was so timely and had so much great information within it that will help any reader to better themselves altogether. This is the type of book that I wish that I would have had when I was in high school as I would have loved to have had it for everything that it had in it. This is not only for the student though, it is also for parents.
