Taking the Cringe out of College Planning |
Deadlines, applications, essays--oh my! After getting the list of to-dos from my 17-year-old son's school, I felt all the life get sucked right out of me (vampire joke!). Overwhelmed, I decided to look for some reinforcements. Thankfully, I found a great resource to help me wade through the deep waters of senior year. If you're not there yet, but you're brave enough to preview what's to come, walk this way. |

Reading is fundamental, but research shows a marked decline after age nine. Access to a diverse array of books is one way to encourage a life-long love of literature, which is why the University of Chicago is partnering with schools, nonprofit organizations, and Scholastic Book Fairs to provide half a million free books through the UChicago My Very Own Library literacy program. |
