How to Become a Strong Person and Build a Good Life

"If you want to have a good life, this book is filled with suggestions about how to do it." Written by a school counselor who partially messed up his own life and who has seen so many others do the same by making bad choices, HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE communicates in a down-to-earth encouraging manner important information about the tools needed to become a strong person (character, attitude, responsibility, effort, and self-control). It also explains how to use the five tools to build a good life by making good choices through respect for your job (which for young people is to be a student), others, and yourself. Over sixty true short stories (some humorous, some sad, some gut-wrenching, some inspiring) bring the book to life and help to illustrate the main points. (Since about fifteen of these true stories are intense and are not appropriate for elementary or intermediate school age children - they have been placed in a special section near the end of the book.) The book is for students, young adults, and parents. The author believes that anyone can become a strong person and build a good life if they set their mind to it and put in the effort that's required to achieve these important goals. The information in the book can be used by parents as they teach their children how to become strong people." (All proceeds from the sale of this book are used to help us achieve our mission of helping schools, parents, and communities' model, teach, encourage, and recognize respect.)
