With nearly a decade of college recruiting experience, Josh Tiffany has met with thousands of high school students and parents who all have a skewed vision of how the college admission process works and what scholarships are available. So many myths exist in the process; so many families miss out on opportunities available to them because of these myths. As a result, Path4Success.org was founded. This organization is dedicated to helping students learn the importance of an education, not only in high school, but also the benefits of earning a college degree. This book will help families start on the right path and will answer questions they have about the process.
Fast Facts: - The PSAT is given annually in mid-October - Approximately 1 million high school juniors and 600,000 sophomores take the PSAT every year - Book includes 2 full-length simulated PSAT/NMSQT exams
The acclaimed author of There Are No Children Here takes us into the heart of Chicago by introducing us to some of the city’s most interesting, if not always celebrated, people. Chicago is one of America’s most iconic, historic, and fascinating cities, as well as a major travel destination. For Alex Kotlowitz, an accidental Chicagoan, it is the perfect perch from which to peer into America’s heart. It’s a place, as one historian has said, of “messy vitalities,” a stew of contradictions: coarse yet gentle, idealistic yet restrained, grappling with its promise, alternately sure and unsure of itself. Chicago, like America, is a kind of refuge for outsiders. It’s probably why Alex Kotlowitz found comfort there. He’s drawn to people on the outside who are trying to clean up—or at least make sense of—the mess on the inside. Perspective doesn’t come easy if you’re standing in the center. As with There Are No Children Here, Never a City So Real is not so much a tour of a place as a chronicle of its soul, its lifeblood. It is a tour of the people of Chicago, who have been the author’s guides into this city’s—and in a broader sense, this country’s—heart. From the Hardcover edition.
