Book excerpt: Life is not Complicated, You Are (College Edition) Has inspired future leaders in classrooms across America."Carlos Wallace talks about different aspects of life, his book is very big on motivation. He talks about how he went through different tragic things in his life. He talks about financial ruin, and how you have to take one step at a time and pick yourself up from your troubles. Just like in the book when it talks about motivation. Just because we don't always meet the certain goals we had planned for ourselves doesn't mean we weren't successful. We just created a new goal, sometimes more realistic.""Carlos Wallace is the author of Life Is Not Complicated- You Are, which is a motivational and view-changing narrative. He uses personal experiences and examples to show listeners how they can live their lives in the best way possible. Wallace explains how dwelling on the past, living in fear, and not doing what is best for one's own life can lead to disappointment. By accomplishing his personal goal of inspiring people through this narrative, Wallace proved how motivation and positive thinking can improve one's life.""In this book by Carlos Wallace "Life Is Not Complicated, You Are" It is a very inspirational book, because it lets us know about what life is about and what everyone goes through base on what Carlos Wallace has experience in his life during the years. His purpose was to let everyone know that no one is alone and that we all go through the same things. As life goes on, we all have a purpose in life, it could either be to helpsomeone that is going through something hard in their lives or to be there next to someone and let them know that their lives are worth living, even when everything seems gone.""Depression and many other psychological disorders can run in families, which has a major effect on emotional state. The most important thing that Wallace gets to in this book is when he quotes hamlet, "this above all, to thine self be true." Being true to yourself is essential to self-determination. That is the foundation of motivation. If you listen to yourself and really try to do the right thing and know you are trying, that is enough to keep you motivated to strive higher. Because you have come so far before, you know you can again."

But in these darkest times, we are presented with much more that just grief; we are given the opportunity to learn, heal, and grow. When you reach a place where you can view setbacks as reminders to appreciate the good things in your life, you have taken the first step to owning your destiny as a happier, more joyful, and more successful person. Carlos Wallace, president and CEO of entertainment management firm Sol-Caritas, has known his share of sadness and loss. In those times, he goes back to the lessons he learned from his parents and grandparents. From their hardship, he draws inspiration for strength. In their history, he finds encouragement for his future. The answers you're looking for are within reach. Perhaps the solution to your problem has already been revealed to you, but how will you know where to find the answers? When things spin out of control and you lose direction, these lessons can help you. Life really isn't all that complicated. People, on the other hand, are. No matter how long it takes to get to where you need to be, as long as you take that first step, you'll be further along than if you did nothing at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of "Life is Not Complicated, You Are," Mr. Carlos Wallace teaches life lessons through his autobiographical narrative. The intent of this novel study is to provide lessons and suggestions for Secondary English educators as an opportunity to discuss difficult coming of age topics with our students. As educators, we are aware that there are many ways to approach a novel study. This novel study guide approaches the content through a social justice lens. The lesson plans are designed for a 4 to 6 week novel study. The novel study addresses the narrative as a reflection of a wealth of knowledge, an opportunity to share experiences, and shared privileges from the perspective of the author. Each chapter is titled with a quote reflective of the chapter's content. These quotes are duplicated in the study guide and intended for student reflective purposes. Some chapters have been grouped together as the themes within the chapters are closely related. The suggested page grouping should be ideally read during class and then remaining sections for homework. Students are encouraged to read in class as much as possible. Reading in class promotes a connectedness with the text. Most of the assignments for "Life is Not Complicated, You Are" have been constructed with small groups in mind. Ideal groups should consist of 3 to 4 students. This novel is intended to be discussed as the subject matter commands small and large group discussions. There are links provided where students can hear Mr. Wallace not only tell a little about himself as one is autobiographical, but also propel the narrative. Provided links should be previewed and discretion is advised contingent upon the intended audience. The suggested activities are conversation initiators. The intended use of these activities should facilitate student interaction. Students should journal or write reflections as they navigate through the prescribed readings. This novel has the propensity to facilitate enlightening classroom conversation and broaden the scope and knowledge of issues as they relate to social justice. "Welcome to my world. Take what you need." - Carlos Wallace Sincerely, Vanessa Necolettos Ed.S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do race and social class influence who gets into America's elite colleges? This important book takes a comprehensive look at how all aspects of the elite college experience--from application and admission to enrollment and student life--are affected by these factors. To determine whether elite colleges are admitting and educating a diverse student body, the authors investigate such areas as admission advantages for minorities, academic achievement gaps tied to race and class, unequal burdens in paying for tuition, and satisfaction with college experiences. Arguing that elite higher education affects both social mobility and inequality, the authors call on educational institutions to improve access for students of lower socioeconomic status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “bracing and well-argued” study of America’s college debt crisis—“necessary reading for anyone concerned about the fate of American higher education” (Kirkus). College is far too expensive for many people today, and the confusing mix of federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid leaves countless students without the resources they need to pay for it. In Paying the Price, education scholar Sara Goldrick-Rab reveals the devastating effect of these shortfalls. Goldrick-Rab examines a study of 3,000 students who used the support of federal aid and Pell Grants to enroll in public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008. Half the students in the study left college without a degree, while less than 20 percent finished within five years. The cause of their problems, time and again, was lack of money. Unable to afford tuition, books, and living expenses, they worked too many hours at outside jobs, dropped classes, took time off to save money, and even went without adequate food or housing. In many heartbreaking cases, they simply left school—not with a degree, but with crippling debt. Goldrick-Rab combines that data with devastating stories of six individual students, whose struggles make clear the human and financial costs of our convoluted financial aid policies. In the final section of the book, Goldrick-Rab offers a range of possible solutions, from technical improvements to the financial aid application process, to a bold, public sector–focused “first degree free” program. "Honestly one of the most exciting books I've read, because [Goldrick-Rab has] solutions. It's a manual that I'd recommend to anyone out there, if you're a parent, if you're a teacher, if you're a student."—Trevor Noah, The Daily Show

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dominican-born academic tells the story of how the Great Books transformed his life—and why they have the power to speak to people of all backgrounds What is the value of a liberal education? Traditionally characterized by a rigorous engagement with the classics of Western thought and literature, this approach to education is all but extinct in American universities, replaced by flexible distribution requirements and ever-narrower academic specialization. Many academics attack the very idea of a Western canon as chauvinistic, while the general public increasingly doubts the value of the humanities. In Rescuing Socrates, Dominican-born American academic Roosevelt Montás tells the story of how a liberal education transformed his life, and offers an intimate account of the relevance of the Great Books today, especially to members of historically marginalized communities. Montás emigrated from the Dominican Republic to Queens, New York, when he was twelve and encountered the Western classics as an undergraduate in Columbia University’s renowned Core Curriculum, one of America’s last remaining Great Books programs. The experience changed his life and determined his career—he went on to earn a PhD in English and comparative literature, serve as director of Columbia’s Center for the Core Curriculum, and start a Great Books program for low-income high school students who aspire to be the first in their families to attend college. Weaving together memoir and literary reflection, Rescuing Socrates describes how four authors—Plato, Augustine, Freud, and Gandhi—had a profound impact on Montás’s life. In doing so, the book drives home what it’s like to experience a liberal education—and why it can still remake lives.
