If you have decided not to finish high school,
you’re
not alone, it’s
important to know that. You are
not alone, and it is not the end of
the world or the end of your going anywhere in life. Some experts
say as many as thirty percent of high school students don’t finish;
approximately seven thousand youth drop out of school each day during
the school year. Plenty of them go on to build highly successful lives
and careers! In this book, I’ll share some
of the
lessons I’ve learned that have enabled me to live the life
of my
dreams. In addition, you’ll see examples of many other people
who
did not finish high school and went on to do great things
with their
lives. You can too.
This book was written to encourage you to think beyond the standard of a high school diploma so that you find and take advantage of the great opportunities that are out there for many of us who have not fit into the usual mold of completing high school.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge”
– Albert Einstein
I’m not encouraging anyone to drop out of high school; if you can finish, please do. At the same time, I want to encourage you that, if you have found you cannot finish, or choose not to finish for any number of reasons, there are many opportunities that await you from this moment forward. I want to provide you with a few tips that helped me to move beyond high school and live the life of my dreams.
