The 7 Keys to Student Success is for students to start believing "they can" achieve their academic greatness-they can be the student they have always desired to become. What is the book all about? This book focuses on those aspects of student success that both directly or indirectly increase personal achievement. How is the book organized? The book has 7 chapters. Each chapter has been organized in a manner that the student, you, will be able to see a practical example, a background story on what I have learned and gone through and then an exercise in which you, the student, can do. The exercises are meant for you to pause, think about the answer, then write it down in the space provided. The book is not only your guide and resource in achieving academic success, but it is also a journal to scribble, jot down and look back at the answers you have written throughout the book.
