SUMMARY:Never Say “No Way”
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DETAILS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				How one 8th-grade dropout became an internationally published novelist and a university instructor. \nIf asked\, most of us would say\, “No way can an 11-year-old child\, with a mom who doesn’t sew\, learn to create her own school clothes.”  Or “No way is a 14-year-old wife and mother\, who grew up eating sandwiches and take-out\, able to cook responsibly for her own family.” Or “No way will an 8th-grade drop-out with no additional schooling pass the Scholastic Aptitude Test for the University of Houston.” And “No way could that same person\, after taking only English 101\, Speech 101 and a drawing class\, create and manage her own graphic communications firm before becoming an internationally published author.” \nChris Rogers will reveal how – through self-study and determination – whatever you want to accomplish in life is possible. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				ABOUT THE SPEAKER\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Chris Rogers is a Texas novelist whose stories cover an array of genres\, including mystery\, suspense\, paranormal and science fiction.
