SEE-SAW

DAVE HILL

WHAT IF ONE CARELESS STATEMENT FROM A TEACHER COULD CHANGE A 10 YEAR OLD'S LIFE FOREVER?


See-Saw is a meandering journey through 48 years, examining how parents, teachers, acquaintances and work colleagues can have a major impact upon the successes and failures of an ordinary bloke.

Split into four sections - SUCCESS?; FAILURE?; GROWTH! and LIFE'S LESSONS LEARNED!; the book explores how we can assist one another to be happy, successful and satisfied with our place in the world.

It is intended to be accessible, humorous and easily read - yet carries a clear message that could raise and enhance the positive impact of parents, teachers, trainers or anyone who wants to help someone improve in any sphere of life.

This is my first attempt at writing and I would greatly appreciate any comment that will help me to improve - Thank You.
