How to Transform Your Life through Learning: A Chapter from My Memoir Destined || JANUARY 2025 || ISSUE #7

Author of the memoir Destined: A Story of Resilience and Beating the Odds

Dear Reader,

My memoir, Destined: A Story of Resilience and Beating the Odds, will launch on Tuesday, February 4, 2025! When the book appears on Amazon on February 4, I hope you’ll buy it for yourself and for a loved one. I recently talked to The Philadelphia Inquirer about Destined, and the article is here.

Do you know a community college or first-generation Ivy League student who would benefit from receiving a free blog article in my monthly newsletter with tips on learning, reading, writing, or resilience?

Do you want to read a sample of Destined? Below I share chapter 3 titled “The Turning Point.” In it, I detail why and how I returned to school as a married mother juggling many responsibilities, earned my high school diploma equivalent, and went on to community college.

If you find this chapter helpful, share it with college students and invite them to subscribe to my newsletter.

Keep going!
