The Overachievers; The Secret Lives of Driven Kids

<p>Im pretty sure she wouldn't recommend it considering they were her sororities that got trashed.</p>

<p>the book on sororities was very good actually</p>

<p>i read it, she didn't trash the actual things-her main point was that it was a lot of money to be in one, a lot of obligation, etc, and not necessarily the "jumping off point" it might once have been</p>

<p>Ha, my library has it...I think I'm going to go get it tomorrow</p>

<p>I'll have to look at all these books mentioned when I go to Barnes and Nobles. I don't necessarily push myself to be an over-achiever and so long as I never get a C or lower, my parents don't really care how I do in school. I just love to learn and work so I kind of motivate myself more than others. Still, I think I'd be able to relate myself to some of the characters if I read it.</p>

<p>Not on topic: I'm lucky, since my parents got divorced, each Wednesday when I see my dad, he either takes me to Barnes and Nobles or takes me to dinner (sometimes both.) I love it because almost every time we go there, he buys me at least a book or two.</p>

<p>Overachievers is one of my favorite books. I think I've read it about 3 times, and I sometimes just flip through and go to my favorite parts.</p>

<p>It just hits so close to home, and I can see myself/people I know in so many different of the situations. I REALLY recommend it to anyone looking for a good read! It's actually the book that made me realize that in the end- working my butt off for school isn't really going to make a difference. After reading it last summer, I dropped one of my AP classes and elected to take music again.</p>

<p>Hmmm...^Maybe I need to read it cover to cover.</p>
