It has to do with whether the road fits the person walking it, and whether that person has the self-knowledge and the skills to stay on it when it gets hard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Persist, Dr. Tremayne Thurman, OTD, gives students and the parents, counselors, and mentors who guide them a practical framework for the years after high school. The book starts with a hard truth about why so many capable people stop short, then walks readers through three moves that change the odds: know who you are, using personality and emotional intelligence rather than other people's expectations; choose the right road from the real options, whether that is a four-year university, community college, the trades, the military, or a road of your own; and build the everyday skills, from belonging to recalibrating to managing stress, that keep you moving when motivation runs out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePersist is not a pep talk and not a ranking of the \"best\" schools. It is a guide to making the next decision with clarity instead of pressure, and to finishing what you start. Whether the reader is a high school senior weighing options, a returning adult ready to come back, or a parent who wants to help without taking over, Persist offers a steady, honest plan for the road ahead. Your destiny is not decided by where you get in. It is built by whether you stay the course.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45547213193351,"sku":"9798996757015","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/il3w1XT6AS9798996757015.webp?v=1786945823","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/persist-your-destiny-awaits-the-family-guide-to-life-after-high-school-using-personality-and-emotional-intelligence-to-find-your-road-and-finish-wh-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
