Naturally, having a professional background in engineering and business and being the son of a mother who taught school for 30 years, Derek Lovett had dreams of implementing an entrepreneurship curriculum into public schools. However, it wasn't long after trying his hand at teaching that he realized an alarming disparity in public education---while the vast majority of students were more than capable, many of them were simply not motivated. Furthermore, he realized that the bulk of the battle for student aptitude didn't happen inside the four walls of a school building---it was the community surrounding the building that determined what most of those students would become.
This book serves as a guide to middle and high school students to help them navigate the challenges that many of them have not been prepared to face. In addition, it serves as a resource for both parents and teachers to use at their disposal to generate dialogue that provokes students to think deeply about their present and future.
