Publisher's Synopsis
So many women think of returning to school, even dream about it, but are afraid to take the first steps. In A Woman's Guide to college: Navigating the Terrain to a Better Life, author and return-to-college expert Carla Andrews-O'Hara delivers answers to the questions that stand between you and college. What challenges and mysteries exist inside those walls? Will any college or university accept my application? How do I know if I'm ready? What makes this self-help guide so impactful are the stories shared by women who feared the idea of college, questioned their ability to compete, and then moved ahead to achieve a new, more fulfilling life. Andrews-O'Hara, a high school dropout who returned to college and earned two degrees, inspires readers as she addresses overcoming fear, dealing with tuition, understanding the affects of education on families, and then achieving the dream. As the author reminds us on every page: You want more and you deserve to have it. This is your first step!
