An Unofficial Guide to Surviving College is a collection of stories by the father-son duo Dr. Eugene Hayes and Leslie Hayes to make college life a memorable experience, offering its readers a chance to learn from other's mistakes. It perfectly blends Dr. Eugene's extensive experience in the public health sector, mentoring and leadership, and Leslie's recent trial-and-error experience on college life.
As Leslie Hayes says:
"We all make mistakes. When we make a mistake, we have a choice: either dwell on it and let it hold us back, or learn from it and move on. If we learn from our mistakes, we can become better people. We can become more wise, more compassionate, and more understanding. Therefore, our mistakes do not define us. The lessons we learn from those mistakes and how we outgrow those blunders define us."
