The College Must Begin in 8^th Grade All Inclusive Resource Guide: A Conversation Connecting Dr. Pierre Dr. Bourdieu’s Capitals to Students Attitudes Toward Education is an insightful guide for students in 7^th-12^th grade to examine many of the factors perceived to be prohibiting them from aspiring to feats already available within them. The conversations persist through what-if scenarios, practical applications, comedy, and absolute realities to assure students are vying to be the absolute best student he or she can be for themselves for their future. This guide introduces:

• An introduction into how to exist through any negative or life altering comments with honor and without disrespecting the adults with the authority of care over them.
• An evaluation of when it is appropriate to be a kid and when being a kid is the last thing students want to be treated as or subjected to.
• How Fear Travels as a Family; Valuing Self; Dr. Dr. Bourdieu’s Capitals (including the NEFE High School Financial Planning Outline); When to Celebrate, Communicate, and Be Responsible; as well as several unspoken but expected societal cues can be the tools used to propel students to any level of mastery worked on and strived for.

The purpose for introduction at this stage of the student’s education is to remove from each student the fallacy of “I didn’t Know” and infuse the mindset of “I’ve Got to Do This for ME!” Scholarships will be available for upper, middle, and lower percentile students in 7^th to 12^th grade to encourage all students in innately acting in his or her best interest instead of settling for a life beneath that.
