If you're feeling boxed in by high school, this book is for you. It describes a world of alternative learning opportunities, then explains how to scout them out, how to decide what's right for you, how to prepare, what to expect, how to overcome barriers (cost, distance, time), and how to make the most of whatever you choose to do. Part 1, 'What You Can Do While Living at Home,' presents a variety of alternative learning experiences you can try while living with your family, from internships to mentorships and job shadowing. Part 2, 'What You Can Do Away from Home...Or Far, Far Away,' explores travel adventures and study abroad programs. First-person stories feature high school students who have been there. Resources point you toward more information. Lively, informative, realistic, and inspiring, this is a book of what-ifs, why-nots and ways to change your life. |
