Description
Welcome To The Hood... Adulthood! introduces thirty stimulating conversations covering a wide range of ideas and stratagems to help teens and young adults overcome and survive the challenges ahead. Pete Iole, author of Passport to Growing Up for school-age children, shares wisdom to inspire and encourage the emerging generation. Filled with practical advice, Pete's goal is to prepare teens to approach business interviews with confidence, and after securing a position, avoid the pitfalls of the workplace. Parents and young people alike will appreciate the time devoted to character development. Realizing that what you do is not as important as who you are, Pete devotes the second half the book to helping teenagers develop qualities such as persistence, self-reliance, and initiative. To inspire the future leaders of our country, he calls upon the wisdom of the ages, incorporating quotes from great minds ranging from Homer and Shakespeare to Helen Keller and John F. Kennedy. His own words of encouragement will stay with readers as well. He encourages teens to 'take time to reflect. Critique what you've done; plan what must yet be done. Take time to thank those who paved your way, opened doors, and gave you time to develop your assets.
