What are people saying?

• "The Student's Advantage' is absolutely the best compilation of vital information for learning that I've ever seen! When I was reading this, I was constantly saying 'yes, yes, yes, hallelujah!' In my opinion the much needed basic information found in 'The Student's Advantage' should be taught in mandatory classes in high school and to all students in their first year of college.
  -Linda Dobson, Teacher

• "Wyne Ince has stepped forward as a motivational speaker and writer for students of the high school level on how to approach education not only on a daily basis but also on a philosophical basis. This is perhaps one of the more devoted books focusing on teenagers as any on the market.
  -Grady Harp

• "Ince tells of success stories of students who began their education with numerous dysfunctions, but by applying the '7 Secrets' emerged as future leaders in a myriad of fields. I have been teaching English for many years and I will recommend this book to my students as a worthwhile resource for those who wish to advance to higher education or even to make the most out of their high school years.
