Launch! (The Book)

Mid-August of this year, I received a group email asking, "Has anyone ever read or heard of this book called Launch by Burlowski?  Is it any good?  Is it worth buying?" 

I had not ever heard of her or her book, so I looked it up and decided that the $35 was worth it. It came and I read it quickly since we have a son who is going to college next year.

I also went to hear her speak recently to get a a better sense of who she is.

Verdict?

She is the real deal.  

She really cares about the fact that kids are going into debt and making a lot of bad choices along the way that could have been avoided.  That much came across when she almost choked up a couple of times during her talk.  

No one is going to use every bit of information in her book, but if even one thing helps, the $35 is more than worth it.  

Did you know that most people make mistakes on the FAFSA that costs them many dollars in aid?

She also recommends figuring out what your child is truly interested in so they don't waste time and money.  And be a leader and get involved in something special.  (I love that we have had a lot of information on this through Life.)  

Ideally, start in eighth grade planning ahead.  So - if you think your child is too young for you to need to read this book, think again.  Well worth it.  Don't just go by my extremely short summary.

Have a Blessed Day!

How the Teacher has been Blessed

It dawned on me the other day that I have never written a blog post about what the teacher (yours truly) has gotten out of this whole escapa...
