Academic Success: Breaking The Chains Of Ignorance And Underachievement In Our Urban Schools Book

Academic Success, written by educator-author Akin Merino, challenges students to stop hiding in the shadow of destiny and to break out of their shell of missed opportunities and misconceptions. It is a dynamic, motivational book of instructions written for inner-city students by an inner-city teacher. Akin Merino speaks to the hearts and minds of each student. "Success is just around the corner," says Merino. "Destiny is the reason you were born." She understands their frustrations and she teaches them how to overcome peer pressure, society's negative opinions, and the practice of making poor personal choices that result in loss.
