(NAME-MCE) Calling all youth and youth service providers

[Su Verma]

Hi, 
I think the stroy of success should not stop at "overcoming the behavior"
only. We should take them to another step of maximizing their potential.
Recently, I came across a book which could help our youth reaching their
potential. It is titled, "Maximizing Your Potential As a Student", ISBN #
9781595942050, published by Wingspan press. This book is written by youth
and for youth.  Every student can benefit from this book. 
Thanks.
Su
