Melissa Pyrch’s Beyond the Bell – A Great Read for High School Graduates (And Not Only Them)
It’s a rare person who has never thought of what they were going to do with their life after finishing high school. Every year, millions of school leavers embark on a journey towards adulthood. And the first step is choosing a future professional and the college that can help them pursue it. But do all high school students are fully aware of their education options? Do all of them know how to make the right decision without feeling regretful afterwards? Do all of the would-be college students know how to deal with frustration and transition period stress? Well, forewarned is forearmed. It’s what Melissa Pyrch is trying to say to all school leavers and their parents in her new book Beyond the Bell: 12 Lessons for Navigating Your Life After High School.
When we are young, fragile, inexperienced, and not as self-confident as we try to come across, we need a mentor. Consciously or unconsciously, we’re looking for a mentor, someone who can offer us a piece of advice or a helping hand in our time of need. That’s where Melissa Pyrch’s book might come in handy. Though there are no revolutionary revelations or one-size-fits-all solutions readers could apply in their individual situations, Pyrch’s book affords a sense of comfort, spiritual consolation, and a bunch of useful tips that can help high school graduates find their place in the sun. Indeed, Pyrch’s book is packed with practical recommendations to young people who have found themselves at a loss to know how to smoothly transition from high school to college. The author generously provides her readers with encouraging advice for effective learning, leaving home, picking a college major, getting along with peers, and much more.
In the most unobtrusive manner possible, Pyrch offers her solutions to the most common problems faced by school leavers. Chapter by chapter, the author guides her readers through the objectives they need to achieve to finally transform into confident college students. Don’t worry! There is no homework assigned on each chapter covered. That’s definitely the task that essay services can handle. What you will need to do though is take a life test once you’re done with this fascinating read. There will be lots of cool moments, as well as frustrations and disappointments as your life unfolds. But in her book, Pyrch puts forward a rather simple yet effective plan on how to embrace and deal with failure, overcome fears, and set yourself up for succeeding in college and beyond.
All of the 12 lessons Pyrch offers her learners are ingenious in their simplicity and practical effectiveness. From the very first lines, the author confesses that she has been through all of those things that might be plaguing thousands of high school graduates. She emphasizes that it’s the truth that students need to hear from adults. And truth was something she needed so desperately but was never told.
So, prepare to hear straightforward and frank stories that, according to Pyrch, are never told in high school. No-brainers as they are, these stories essentially teach students to successfully navigate your life after throwing your graduation cap in the air.
“A clearly worded, powerfully optimistic look at what high school students will face after graduation.” It’s what Kirkus Reviews is saying about Melissa Pyrch’s latest book, which is currently available on Amazon. And a vast majority of readers, who have already learned all the 12 lessons and are now ready to meet the challenges head-on, can definitely agree with that.
Beyond the Bells is a great read not only for future college students, but also their parents, and educators who want to help school leavers choose the right path in their life.
