Find the college that's best for you and your future.
Much attention has been paid to helping students get into elite schools. Advice on how to ace those SATs and write a killer college application essay all aim to get students into the most prestigious university possible. It's time to look beyond brand and focus on finding the school that is right for each individual instead.
In Make College Your Superpower: It's Not Where You Go, It's What You Know, Anna Esaki-Smith advocates on behalf of students and offers them a guide to getting the most value out of their education. Using the latest data, personal anecdotes, and inspiration, Esaki-Smith shows students how to make informed decisions about where to apply to college, taking into consideration areas of job growth, personal finances, skill sets, potential salaries, geography, and more. In addition, Esaki-Smith explores the connection between majors and jobs and how, rather than relying on a university's ranking, selecting the right program can more directly result in employability for graduates.
With the mental health of students declining, the time is right for a book that encourages students to be resourceful, independent, and energized. Stories of those who found different paths to success provide students from a wider range of backgrounds and abilities incentive to feel optimistic about their futures, as well. With helpful insight and practical advice, Make College Your Superpower aims to get readers excited--rather than stressed--about the college admissions process.
Anna Esaki-Smith is a journalist, author, and international education consultant. She conducts research for national education organizations, universities, and edtech companies, and is a contributor to Forbes, covering education. Previously, she was responsible for international student recruitment for non-degree programs at UC Berkeley, and has lived and worked in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris, and Tokyo. Esaki-Smith currently lives in Chappaqua, New York.

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
