Teenagers have more potential than they realize. Our schools are not helping them "learn how to learn." This book will help them: learn to express themselves. discover a quiet faith and confidence. learn to think and act on the value of their own thinking. learn, like an Olympic athlete, how to focus on their greatest enthusiasm. become more interesting to themselves and to others, because of their growing interest in many things. find self-respect by accepting responsibility. Richard Eastman provides a one-hour a day plan that gives teenagers the time to develop their leadership skills while discovering how to take the lead in their own education. This book is a must-read for concerned parents and educators that follows a home truth about what education really is: it's not about fixing a system, but about changing one mind at a time.

This workbook is an opportunity for you to learn what you want at your own pace. Its purpose is to help you discover and believe that, Every problem has a solution. John W. Gardner has the right idea, He said, The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursuing his own education. We learn to cook by cooking, sing by singing, paint by painting; so life can become doing what we are good at, and what we enjoy. H.G. Wells said, Our educational system seems to have developed a community of faith and obedience. It should be replaced with knowledge and the will to make a difference. This workbook suggests that you focus on powerful words that improve your social and communication skills. You will find when you pick, choose and design, at least part of your education you will begin to believe, 1 can do anything I set my mind to. I believe you are capable of learning more than you realize, and at a speed that will surprise you. Practice with these education tools will give you: I can do this attitude.
