Selfless Choices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986403908)

Selfless Choices raises awareness of the education options afforded to our children as it offers encouragement and empowers the reader. Through the eyes of a person of color and living in the inner city- the Bronx, Sharon shares her extensive search for better education opportunities for their son. She explains, how she met and handled the various challenges- both pro and con, and what the results were as she gained access to information for her son's elementary, middle, and high school education. In her memoir, she also shares with the reader how the inner-city public schools had failed her and so many of her contemporaries.

While in her search, she stumbles upon the private independent school system. Though having little knowledge of how it all worked, yet a very clear internal and external vision of her own journey, she is able to navigate this seldom traveled path for parents of color and those from underserved communities. This veteran mom's discoveries have now equipped her with a road map to share with the reader the necessary tools to search, apply to admissions, and seek funding. Yes, the expense is often times a factor; yet it does not have to prevent or obstruct the opportunity.

A private independent school education will help shape and prepare the child for higher education, their careers, as well as provide an awareness of a wider range of opportunities which will impact their communities, and many times the world at large.

Through a connection to the author's personal story, the reader may recognize their own or similar stories, and learn that they are not alone on their journey to educate their children more adequately.
