Graduating into Life: Choices and Challenges for High School Grads pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
"Maybe you don t stand out (and never
will) as a scholar, an athlete, or a beauty
queen. Well on the other hand, maybe
you do, or will sometime. In any case,
you can be you, bringing to this world
the unique things only you and nobody
else can. No one but you can possibly
do things as you. Even the kind of
friendship you have to offer is unique,
and no one else can be a friend in ex-
actly the way you can. They d be nuts to
try, just as you wouldn t be playing with
a full deck if you tried to imitate some-
body else s unique brand of friendship."
With his lively conversational tone
and witty way with words, Joe
McGIoin knows how to hold the atten-
tion of teenage graduates. He lives
with them daily, knows their concerns,
is aware of their hopes and dreams.
He doesn t talk down to them; neither
does he launch into boring para-
graphs filled with advice that adults
think graduates want to hear.
High school graduates must make
choices -- many choices. And that s
where this book fits in. It encourages
the graduate to make his or her own
choices, but with humor and sparkle
points out that the wise graduate will
accept the advice and help of others
in plotting his or her future.
Joe McGIoin wants to see young
adults develop self-esteem, spiritual
wholeness, moral values, and social
awareness. He stimulates them to do
so, sometimes prodding them with a
witticism or a ni[ty cartoon. But al-
ways the challenge is there: "You are
living right now -- unless of course
you have chosen only to dream. You
can t wait until you have grown com-
pletely and become an "adult." You
live as you grow, and you either grow
all your life or you wither and die."
