Be Determined To Succeed


Book Description

Kevin Hough was an enthusiastic, successful athlete and student during high school and went to a Division 1 college on an athletic scholarship. Kevin was also a party animal. Even though the police arrested him twice for juvenile drinking during High School, his drinking too much alcohol had to do with an accident that almost took his life after his first semester in college had ended. An amazing comeback was made by Kevin even though three pieces of his brain had to be removed to save his life. After many months in two different hospitals, he decided to go back to college, against the advice from different doctors and counselors, and it was very difficult for him. With determination, he succeeded with needed academic assistance only a short time after he almost lost his life. Golf was not as difficult a comeback for him because the brain that was unharmed during the accident, was the side that retained the muscle memory. His college success in both areas is described and you can find out what all his needed advice and assistance was. Excellent for reading, especially for High School Athletes (golfers) who want to succeed in sports and academics in high school and college too! This book also features the appreciation Kevin has for those who saved his life, took care of him as he needed, assisted in him maturing, getting his more correct social life back and succeeding in school, golf and life.




Determined to Succeed?


Book Description

In many countries, concern about socio-economic inequalities in educational attainment has focused on inequalities in test scores and grades. The presumption has been that the best way to reduce inequalities in educational outcomes is to reduce inequalities in performance. But is this presumption correct? Determined to Succeed? is the first book to offer a comprehensive cross-national examination of the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities in educational attainment. It combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing more general empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. The aim is to investigate to what extent inequalities in educational attainment can be attributed to differences in academic performance between socio-economic groups, and to what extent they can be attributed to differences in the choices made by students from these groups. The contributors focus predominantly on inequalities related to parental class and parental education.




Determined to Succeed


Book Description

We are, undoubtedly, in a time where we need to be determined to succeed. We are all aware of the challenges that we face through globalisation, an unparalleled pace of change, all of the factors that have provided the script for seemingly endless versions of 'Shift Happens'youtube videos and its companion pieces. I have argued elsewhere that people who say that recession will last for some notional period of time are simply misleading us. If we, as a nation, are not competitive there will be no end to recession; it will become decline. In the short term, we need to be determined to succeed in other ways. We cannot accept a situation where we have high levels of youth unemployment whilst facing skills shortages and having vacancies that we cannot fill. We need people who are highly (and appropriately) skilled: that is why this book is so valuable. (David Cameron)
