/EINPresswire.com/ New book by student life professional Isa Adney gives historically under-represented students the strategic and motivational tools they need to be their own advocates and achieve their education and their dreams.
Isa Adney cried like a little girl on her first day of community college. Like many other students, she didn’t want to be there. But two years later she found herself crying again—this time when the school president announced she’d won the $110,000 Jack Kent Cooke scholarship.
How did she do it? What was her secret? The key to Isa’s success wasn’t money, genius, or luck: It was people. “The secret to your success,” says Adney in Community College Success'(March 2012; NorLights Press),”is the people you meet in community college who will change your life. No matter how technological our world gets, the best opportunities in life will always happen through people.”
According to Adney, millions of dollars are available from scholarships. Incredible opportunities and jobs are out there for students who know how to connect with the right people. How do you find these folks? How do you know who to contact? And how does a conversation lead to hundreds of thousands of scholarship dollars, a successful career, and a life you can hardly dream of? Isa Adney wrote Community College Success to show historically under-represented students how they can achieve the successes she did and live a life they can’t even imagine.
Isa Adney’s book should be required reading for any student thinking about community college,” states Cal Newport, author of How to Become a Straight-A Student. In a world where 50% of community college students drop out, this book offers students the strategic and motivational tools to be their own advocates and fight for their education and their dreams. Topics include:
• Why drive-through education is not enough.
• Why 50% of community college students aren’t graduating with a degree and how students can ensure they complete their degrees.
• Why joining college clubs is one of the smartest moves you’ll make in college.
• Why you must choose a college major ASAP. Adney shows how to find the major that’s right for you.
• What to do on the first day of class to make your professors take notice of you.
• Why a professional mentor is essential to success and how to find one.
• The best way to discover your perfect career (and avoid a miserable one).
• How to get your foot into the hidden job market—even during a recession
Community College Success is a must-read for all community college students looking to make the most of their college experience and get their careers on the fast track during these economically challenging times.
