Essential reading to fully understand the struggles that too many kids, teens and college-aged young people face in school. Taking Flight is a powerful story by a keenly insightful mom on how to make a difference in every student's life. - JACK O'CORNELL, Former California Superintendent of Public Instruction The transition to college can be brutal and the sink or swim attitude is not a solution. In Taking Flight Carolyn Carpeneti has identified both the problems and solutions. More importantly, her voice is that of a mother who has real experience and the emotion that goes with it. The struggles on this journey are important to note. The happy ending to the story is a welcome result of love, hard work and persistence. -DR. RICHARD A. MORAN, President, Menlo College Carolyn's willingness to get 'into the weeds' with her son: experience discomfort through many difficult conversations, gather resources, and train her son through his graduation is remarkable. It takes all levels of grittiness to move forward when challenges come up and sometimes it needs to be a partnership between parents and their children. It just takes one person willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty on behalf of a student. - MARIA STATESMAN y MARQUEZ, Student Success Specialist, University of New Mexico
