Testimonial 6

The book is so accessible that the reader becomes heard, experienced, and championed. The absorbing chapters are much more than a how-to book on coping with college. This book opens the door to all students by promoting self-evaluation and self-acceptance. The coaching and tailored academic guidance provided by Dr. Mount has seeded a higher purpose in me! Maria Isabel Rego (Salem College), Alethea Amponsah (Tufts University), Kara Morrison (Winston-Salem State University)
