This book has taught me a handful of things. One thing that this book has taught me is that education is very important if you want to go far in life. While I already knew this, this book has really highlighted why education is so important. In this book, Liz skips school a lot and ends up never going again. Until one day, after everything that has happened in her life, she decides to put her life back on track by going back to school. She enrolls in Prep, a high school that takes learning and teaching to a new level. She pushes her self to finish a year of high school in a semester by getting to school early and staying late. She wants to graduate in two years. She succeeds and enrolls in Harvard.
This book also brought my attention to the fact that possible isn't truly known until you do it. Liz says, "But what I have also learned is that no, no one truly knows what is possible until they go and do it." This statement from Liz made me stop and think about how true that one thing is. To know possible is to do the possible. I have learned that instead of just saying it is possible and moving on, you have to try it, do it, and succeed for it to be possible.
This book has taught me so many things and I am really happy that I chose to read this book for this project.
