Stay the Course - Paperback

by Verna Foster Harvey (Author)

There are no secrets to success, it is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Dr. Verna Harvey understands navigating the challenges students face like no other, and she's on a mission to help students of all ages understand the importance of education and then to assist them in achieving their educational dreams.

While in high school, Verna's dream was to attend college. But during her junior year, a school boycott, in which students participated, torpedoed that dream. Consequently, she dropped out, married her high school sweetheart, and then began traveling with him and supporting him in his military career. However, Verna never gave up on her goal of finishing her education. As a student, perhaps you can relate on some level.
