For authors Rahz and Michele Slaughter, writing “Student Success Secrets: Unlock The 7 Secrets for Developing Inspired, Motivated, and Success-Driven Teens” was something they knew was needed, and they wished they knew this information before they attended college.
Rahz Slaughter says, “The teenage years are very difficult for most teens. Navigating those years without guidance and a roadmap has proven to be even more challenging during a pandemic.
The seven secrets give teens the tools, and strategies to deal with disappointment, set positive goals, and how to take action on creating success in school, athletics, and in life.”
What makes Rahz unique is he barely graduated high school and was labelled disabled at birth. He was born with no right quadriceps or hamstring muscle. This creates a 3.5-inch length difference between his right and left leg. Rahz and Michele had very different upbringings but faced similar challenges in school because they lacked confidence and self-esteem.
Rahz says, “These seven secrets helped change our adult lives.” Rahz has been overcoming obstacles his entire life, and to become a teenage performance coach and author is a true turnaround story.
