WHY READ THE BOOK
The original title of my book was What I Wish I Had Known Before Going to College. I packed the book with information I thought was helpful for getting a good start in life from career planning, college planning, financial planning for college and the real world, and sharing lessons learned in life that are important for success. I tried to make the book interesting through writing in first person and providing real life examples. The book is intended to be used as a reference throughout one's lifetime. -- Katherine Berntzen, Author
