Navigating Life's Choices After High School: Success Guide

Navigating Life's Choices After High School is an all-encompassing resource guide, book, and manual that WILL make your quest for information significantly easier. This resource guide was created for caregivers that want to outline a clear plan that ensure their teen moves to their next step without fear and the stressors of the unknown.

Financing your teen's education does not have to be a mystery box of unexpected expenses. Detailed explanations about the various types of student loans remove the haze of confusion you could experience trying to find the answers on your own. Explanations about FAFSA, scholarships, along with suggestions for internships and employment are a few ways the author of this chapter funded her own education.

This book discusses homeschool vs. public school, trade school vs. college, JROTC, military, and your teen going straight to work; what is the perfect path? This manual discusses the differences that will lead the reader to a place of mental and emotional comfort.

When you are facing big decisions there is no "textbook" perfect answer. The perfect answer is the answer that suits the person or persons making the decision. Researching a new area, city, or state; searching for an apartment, or balancing new expenses could seem like your getting suited up to climb Mount Rushmore. This manual, Navigating Life's Choices After High School gives you detailed best practices that change the situation from a mountain climb to a driving over a speed bump.

Your teen's success depends on your investment in THEIR dream. This book reminds caregivers that success looks and feels different depending on their teens hopes and dreams.

When I turned 23, I had a dream to become successful. My dream comes true each and every time I help someone become a better version of themselves. The African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child" will always hold true. So, thank you for purchasing this book and welcome to my village.
