The story behind me writing this book started with my desire to go back to the private school I attended in 9th grade. Both my parents and I wanted me to attend the same high school for all 4 years and we choose carefully after visiting several campuses. Unfortunately my family was hit hard by the economy and I wasn’t able to go back in the 10th grade. I was home schooled  for  a year and found it really hard to keep the structure provided by the teachers and classroom environment. So I begged and pleaded with my parents to go back and they said  I could go back if I could get a scholarship or we can figure out someway to pay for it. This at first seemed impossible because honestly, how is a 16 year old going to pay for one of the best private schools?

So I started by writing a letter to the dean of the school with the back-up support of family and friends who wrote letters of support. I talked about my desire to come back to the school, our current financial struggles and what I felt I could bring to the campus.

To my surprise... I was awarded a partial scholarship (½ OFF). I was so excited with the thought of going back to this school. And then it hit me... I still need to earn or raise a lot of money. So that’s when I started thinking about what I could do. After several brainstorming sessions with my parents we came up with writing a book on how teens can learn to talk to their parents in a new way. Because both my parents are communication specialists this seemed like it would was a good idea. The only problem is I had a summer to write it, publish it, market it, set up a web site and someway for people to pay for and receive the book. So after some more brainstorming we came up with I would write an eBook to start and then look for support with complete an entire book.  So that’s I did (with a lot of support)
