What people are saying about Becoming Awesome!
“While reading this book I kept thinking of how much I could have used this when I was in my teens. The book is well researched, written and packed full of solid advice on how teens can become the best they can be, not only in their careers, but in all areas of their lives. I would highly recommend this book, not only for all teens and educators, but anyone who has a desire to reach their potential.”
“April Lara, author of Becoming Awesome!, and former CEO of a youth program in Chicago schools writes a timely and significant book about what it takes to support young people to live into their greatest potential and make a difference in the challenging world they’re inheriting. She was part of an initiative that helped kids get back on track and make better decisions. My hope is that this book will support educators, parents and others to create the same shift in schools across the world.”
