A message from isa

I started community college crying in the advising office, because I felt so alone and had no idea where my life was going to go. I ended community college crying too, but that time it was because I had won the $110,000 Jack Kent Cooke scholarship. What happened in those two years at community college changed my life. Or rather, the people I met in community college changed my life. And I wrote Community College Success to give you the strategies that helped me win hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships, travel opportunities, and get straight-A's without ever pulling an all-nighter.

College can be hard, especially if you're like me and are the first in your family to go to college or come from a low-income or minority household. You are why I wrote this book. This book will help you:

• Make friends in college
• Win scholarships
• Set goals for your life
• Take the fear out of talking to your professors
• Study without ever having to pull all-nighters
• Get better grades
• Choose a major you love
• Get internships
• Set yourself up to get a career you love
• Enjoy college
• Stop procrastinating
• Become a networking genius
• Have fun in college
• Break cycles of poverty in your family
• Feel less alone
• Be awesome and cool and beautiful and smart (okay so this one isn't fair, because everyone who buys my book is already all of these things )

AMAZON.COM REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

"Isa speaks very conversationally in this book and really knows her stuff. This book is a MUST READ for anyone in college or entering college (not just community college)." – Christopher

"There is so much more that you will get out of Commmunity College Success than any other book. Just as college is the best investment a student can make, so is this book and you will not regret reading it." – Rita

"This book is unlike any college success book I've ever read before. Community College Success focuses on how relationships with friends, professors, and mentors can elevate yourself and help you achieve your dreams. Isa gives insights and tips to help students just like me and you succeed far greater than ever could be imagined. As a current community college student, I have heard hundreds of times about how good grades equals college success, and it's all true, but there is more to college than just grades. Isa makes that clear by her story and example.This book will make you rethink the community college experience. Buy this book. It's an investment for your future." – Grace

"Isa Adney is helping break the negative stigma associated with students who go to a community college. I know from first hand experience that the tips Isa provides in this book are guaranteed to help any student on their path to professional and educational success. This book is a resource and success starts with getting involved and using your resources. Any student who wants to better themselves needs to read this book ASAP." -Shiena

"Administrators need to read this as much as students do – it's amazing how quickly you can forget what life is like on the other side of the fence. I'm a librarian at a 4-year regional public university with a large transfer population and a Ph.D Student in Higher Ed Administration. Community College Success really helped me put myself in transfer students' shoes in a way I hadn't before. This book is GREAT and I highly recommend it to anyone working in higher education." – Sarah

"I have been elated to finally get to read this amazing book. Let me tell you it surpassed all of my expectations. I am a single mom age of 38 going back to college. I assumed, I knew it all. However, regardless of age, Isa is correct, it feels alone on a journey of the unknown. I am so blessed to not only have a book available at an affordable rate, (one can't afford NOT to buy it), but I learned a lot from Isa's Book. THE BEST part of the book, is she has been there, done that and bought the T-shirt and wrote about it in a noncondescending way." – Sarina

"I almost didn't read this book, as I am the President of my chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, and didn't think that I would need any help in community college success. But I was given the opportunity to read it, and was blown away by the amount of practical advice in the book regarding schools, jobs, and life. Little tips (such as how to know if your instructor should be referred to as Mr/Mrs, Instructor, or Professor) were abundant in this book and even though I have been out in the world before school, I learned a lot. It is clear that Isa is not only knowledgeable about this topic, but passionate about it as well. Highly recommend seeing/reading anything she does." – Gary

"Where can I start! I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Isa Adney brings such an inspirational and motivational energy to this book that has the reader feeling that they can accomplish anything one sets their mind to! As a reader who has never met Isa Adney in person, I felt so connected to her when I read this book, in the sense of that college journey that a student goes through when they are striving to achieve greater things. I never knew there were SO MANY possibilities out there for first generation students and this book hold the key to those possibilities which has opened my eyes to new wonders I've set and wish to accomplish." – Irene

"I literally finished the entire book in a couple of days; I just could not put it down. As an older, first College generation and immigrant student, I had no idea about pretty much the entire American educational system. I did not even know what a credit was! I had to find out on my own what everything meant. After reading Community College Success, I found answers to all the questions I had to search on my own before. It is definitely a time saver and an opportunity finder! It is an easy and very explanatory book to read, even for those that speak another language like me. Get this book for yourself or buy it for someone who is about to start or in the process of transferring. You would be giving that person (or yourself) an enormous source of accurate and useful information for a lifetime!!!" – MJ
