* Stories about getting into college
We are looking for stories from high school and
college students about the experiences they have had when applying to
college. An amazing statistic is that there are over three million high
school seniors who graduate each year and more than half of them apply
to college. There are many books published that tell you how to get
into college but this book will be different. This book will be the one
that provides emotional support to both students and their parents.
Please submit your stories by June 15, 2008.
* Stories about high school
The high school years are some of the most
difficult but, at the same time, some of the best. You will be able to
relate to and learn from the stories in this book. They will make you
laugh, make you cry and let you know that others are having the same
experiences in high school that you are. You are not alone. Please
submit your stories by June 15, 2008.
* Stories about middle school
The years in middle school can be tough and
wonderful - all at the same time. There are so many changes going on
and so many things to deal with. The stories in this book will be about
the issues going on in your life - the things that you deal with
everyday - and they will inspire you. Please submit your stories by
June 15, 2008.
