| Introduction | College! I've been there. What the heck, I'm still there! I enrolled in the fall of 1970 and since then I've only missed a handful of days. During that time I have helped thousands of adults and high school graduates find their niche in college. Three of my own children have successfully navigated the college waters without falling out of the boat. I have a forth child who will take the big step in a few years, and I'm confident we will get through that as well. My strengths are following the map, anticipating the obstacles, and finding ways over, under, around or through. I can show you how to get in, how to pay for it, which classes to take, when and how to study, and how to complete the process with a degree. If you are a recent high school graduate and don't know where to turn, this would be a good place to start. If you are a Veteran, returning to college after service, I can show you exactly how to process the paperwork, cut through the red tape, and anticipate the hay bales you will have to jump on this obstacle course. |
