Above Expectations - My Story

An Unlikely Journey from Almost Failing High School to Becoming a College Professor

By: S. L. Young

Mr. Young struggled academically throughout high school. In the 10th grade, he was directed to leave high school by a school administrator due to horrible academic performance. However, Mr. Young - after being told by his mother to make a choice - decided to remain in school. It would take years before he would connect with the process of learning in a meaningful way. Mr. Young had to mature before he would make some difficult choices and changes, which drove him to receive several college degrees and to later become a college professor. This story is about the power of choice, a dream, desire, and determination to not quit, to overcome, to persevere, and to excel after struggling academically for many years. This is a story of survival. Mr. Young chronicles his many educational challenges, setbacks, and lessons learned. This book details a deeply personal story. This story is a very insightful reference guide for anyone who is struggling or has struggled academically, teachers who want to obtain experiential knowledge from a past misdirected student and now teacher, or parents who seek to better understand the challenges faced by this former at-risk student's documentary.

Bullies...they're in Your Office, Too

Could You Be One?

By: S. L. Young

Bullying behavior is often considered to be related to the antics of developing children. However, the same or similar behavior can be found in many offices also. The major difference between a school and a workplace bully is the environment that the bullying occurs, as the tactics used by school and workplace bullies are nearly the same. The focus of this book is to bring attention to an issue with great significance that is not discussed enough, impacts productivity in offices around the world, and can lead to emotional or psychological damage. This book is a single step toward raising awareness about, identifying the types of, and combating this very important topic of workplace bullies.
