These days, colleges are deluged with applications and the college
application process has become the most traumatic thing that most
students and their parents have ever experienced. Lots of books
tell you how to get into college, but this book uniquely provides
"emotional, " instead of "tactical," support.
The stories in the book are written by kids who have been there and
want to pass on their words of support to the kids behind them.
Stories cover topics such as parental and peer pressure, the stress
of grades and SATs/ACTs, college applications and interviews,
recruiting, disappointments and success. These stories provide
moral support and encouragement to high school students going
through one of the most stressful events of their lives. Parents
will find "Getting In...to College" a great source of support and
inspiration as well.
The first Chicken Soup for the Soul book was published in 1993, and
became a publishing industry sensation, ultimately selling eight
million copies. Since then, more than 150 Chicken Soup titles have
been published, selling more than 100 million copies.
Chicken Soup for the Soul has won dozens of awards over the past 15
years, and its founders, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen have
become celebrity motivational speakers and authors.

Learn how Fred Rogers, a minister and musician from Pennsylvania, became one of America's most beloved television personalities and everyone's favorite neighbor.
Even though he's best known for his successful PBS series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Fred Rogers never dreamed of working in television. In fact, he hated the very first program that he ever watched! Join author Diane Bailey as she takes readers through the journey that brought Mister Rogers into our living rooms. From his childhood interest in puppet-making and music, to his courageous visit to Russia during the Cold War, this book details Mister Rogers's quest for kindness and his gentle appeal to be more neighborly.
From the perspective of the young adult he was then, Francisco
Jimenez describes the challenges he faced in his efforts to
continue his education.

Francisco is there, his father abandons the family and returns to
Mexico. This is the story of how Francisco coped with poverty, with
his guilt over leaving his family financially strapped, with his
self-doubt about succeeding academically, and with separation. Once
again his telling is honest, true, and inspiring.

This witty, refreshing treatise from a celebrated author and
seasoned teacher is a passionate defense of reading -- just for the
joy of it.
First published in 1992 and even more relevant now, Daniel Pennac's
quirky ode to reading has sold more than a million copies in his
native
France. Drawing on his experiences as a child, a parent, and an
inner-city teacher in Paris, the author reflects on the power of
story and reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere,
anytime, so long as we are enjoying ourselves. In a new translation
with a foreword and illustrations
by Quentin Blake, here is a guide to reading unlike any other:
fresh,
sympathetic, and never didactic, it is a work of literature in its
own right.
