Go Back to School & Get Better

Book Cover & Preview Text
What are you waiting for? What's the reason you've delayed going back to school? Is it your work schedule, debt, family obligations, illness, or lack of motivation? Whatever the rationale, it may hold you back from making more income or seizing more significant opportunities that would benefit you and your family. My primary goal is to motivate people to seek higher education. While it primarily focuses on obtaining a high school diploma, its aim extends beyond that to inspire individuals to pursue various post-secondary degrees or certifications. I could sugar-coat why you should run to your nearest adult education learning center and start your journey to get your diploma or degree, but I won't. You picked this book up for a reason. You know deep within yourself that you have been putting off this worthwhile decision for some time. Or maybe you know someone who needs a little nudge or a big push in the right direction. This book aims to be that shove. I have had many students, friends, and family members ask me to personally reach out to someone they know and convince that individual to go back to school. While I have done it more times than I can remember, I realized that I can't call, email, or meet everyone who may need that one-on-one conversation to help them decide to go for it! I hope this book inspires the masses that I would never reach one at a time. This resource contains stories of real people who made the leap and went back and how that decision changed their lives. Some of these students followed the path to the finish line. On the other hand, others fell prey to some form of distraction or life-altering situation. Fictitious names have been used to protect identities. Still, their stories are meant to show you that you can do it and are not alone in the struggles of wanting to accomplish this goal. This dynamic resource addresses those who need the motivation to go back to school, but it also highlights the amazing work that adult educators do to change lives, households, communities, and the economy. If you're a school administrator or educational policymaker, this book is for you too. It is packed full of ideas and insight meant to inspire change in adult education at all levels. So, use it, share it, or both, but its purpose is to help someone "Get Better"
