Dear Readers:
As a retired educator with more than 20 years in the industry I have worked with many international students. For them, coming to and obtaining an education in America was a life-long dream. Some adapted quickly, while others struggled with learning a new culture and fitting in. I can't begin to tell you how often I heard, "...If only I knew this.... If only I knew that..." It doesn't have to be that way. Knowledge is power especially when it comes to traveling and study abroad. Today's BOOK OF THE DAY, "Life Without Borders: Student's Guide to Life Enrichment," is a remarkable one which outlines strategically what it means to study abroad and is filled with sage advice from experts who have been working with U.S. Education Without Borders, www.usewb.com. If you are interested or getting ready to study abroad, this is a must-have book. Don't delay and order your copy today. Oh, as a bonus, you can download the eBook for free between February 1 - 5, 2022.
If you are a student, especially if you are an international student studying in the U.S. or planning to study in the U.S. then you need to recognize that to make the most of the experience of living and studying in the U.S. requires more than obtaining good grades. There are critical life skills which students must develop to bridge the gap between classroom education and the workplace. If you want to be successful in obtaining an internship, getting a job, and to achieve career success, then you need to identify and develop these skills. The knowledge, advice, and stories provided in this book come from many years of experience working with students to help them succeed, and the authors condense this down into easily understandable and actionable information. The sooner you learn and implement this information, the more quickly you will be on a path to achieve the greatest success in your life. U.S. Education Without Borders has been helping students for over 15 years in virtually all phases of education in the U.S., from attending junior high school or high school in the U.S. to providing support for making college applications to providing support and enrichment while in school, to matching students with volunteer and internship opportunities, and finding jobs upon graduation from university or graduate school.
