How To Get Your Kid A 30 On The ACT | Academic Scholarship
How I Got Not One But Two Kids Making At Least A 34 on the ACT
Your kid is at home now, PLEASE do NOT let them waste time like I see most kids in my neighborhood doing!
They have PLENTY of time to do what needs to be done to go to college for free.
I got a lot of questions from my newsletter about HOW I was able to get not just one, but now two kids making at least a 34 on the ACT.
But, if you can get your kid to a 30 on the ACT, you will send your kid to any Mississippi College for FREE!
First, let me explain. As my Momma used to say to me, “I’m not your friend, I’m your Momma.”
This is exactly what I say to my kids. I’m not their friend. I’m their Daddy.
This means I have certain expectations of my kids.
I tell my kids, “You can either meet those expectations or suffer the consequences. The choice is yours.”
This is really how I view my law practice. People can either abide by the law or suffer the consequences. The choice is yours. You can abide by the driving laws or not. However, be aware if you choose to break those laws, then there are consequences for your actions. The choice is yours.
But, I digress.
Back to our story.
ACT Score of 30 Gets A Full Academic Scholarship
Now, on to my son.
I am so proud of my son for getting admitted to medical school! He was admitted to medical school BEFORE he graduated high school!!!
Now, that is the hard work I have tried to teach my kids.
My oldest is leading by example and this sets a fantastic goal for the rest of my kids to try and achieve.
Someone asked me the other day how he did it.
So what’s the secret to getting at least a 30 on the ACT????
I will tell you: he grinded.
He didn’t get this because of some supposed natural talent.
There is NO such thing as talent and anyone who tells you otherwise hasn’t read the books and the studies that disprove it.
You see, while some kids were out all summer, every summer going to the river, playing video games or watching stupid tv, he was GRINDING.
Use IXL.com For Your Kid
He was grinding on an online software program called www.IXL.com and if your kids is not on it, please get them on it RIGHT NOW.
The great thing about IXL is it sends you an email and let’s you know if your kid is really doing the program or playing around.
IXL will also let you know where your kid is having trouble.
The message I’m trying to give you is don’t rely on the schools to educate your kid.
I always tell my kids that my job on Earth is to make them more successful than me.
I want them to pass that along to their kids.
One of the ways I do that is by educating myself on how to best prepare my kids for college and for life.
So now, my oldest has a full scholarship to go to college, plus he gets paid $2,000.00 to go to college!!!
On top of that, the college gives him another $2,000.00 to go study abroad!!! He was one of three students to get accepted to medical school!!!
By the way, a friend asked me if there was an a free alternative to IXL.
There is.
It is www.KhanAcademy.com.
Try it if you can’t afford IXL.
By the way, where does Mississippi Rank?
Almost DEAD LAST in ACT scores. Our average in 2018 was an 18.6
