"The Student’s Advantage" by Wyne Ince, part of the iUseMyBrain2 project, is more than inspirational. It is informative, encouraging and expertly presented. Part 1, Getting Started, is an honest discussion of the importance of education whilst also acknowledging that not everyone is cut out for high level studies. However, whatever occupation you decide to pursue, you should study it and find out all you can about it in preparation. Knowledge is power. Ince makes the crucial point that many youngsters who think they are not smart enough for college are wrong. Smart is not who you are; it is how you are. It is what you are prepared to do. There are many things you can do to make yourself smart. The seven learning secrets are excellently presented too and photos and illustrations brighten up the text and attract you to read on. Part 2 consists of the student’s success road map where we follow Victoria through her education and other choices and the author shows how the reader can learn from her experiences and decisions. Part 3 gives great advice on staying motivated.
The author’s approach is always chatty and encouraging, never condescending. Options are clearly laid out and each paragraph gives advice and tips. Read this and you’ll be perfectly equipped to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves to you. All the material is well-presented. You are told what you are going to learn in each section. You learn it through discussion and illustration, and then there is a summary that prompts action. There are also a worksheet, case studies, suggested further reading material and even an anthem! If there is a youngster at secondary education or beyond in your household, they simply must read this eye- and mind-opening book. They'll have a whole new approach to studying.
