| Mathew Stevens has written the first true complete how-to workbook for incoming college students faced with new and even old obstacles in their new settings. His thorough approach and easy-to-follow formulas provide a solid information base for students. While it is a how-to book, Doing it My Way nonetheless puts the onus on the student and requires serious introspection. I strongly recommend it for all high school seniors bound for college. |

| Author, Matt Stevens has written a masterpiece! As a principal of an urban high school, I read his book, Doing It My Way with great interest. I see clearly how this book will benefit not only the seniors in my building, but seniors making the transition from high school to college throughout the country. Matt Stevens has written a much needed ?handbook? that will certainly make the transition from high school to the collegiate level much smoother. Doing It My Way is a must read book that should be required reading for all high school seniors. |
