Award-winning Author Teri Case to share experience with Carson High School students
Carson High School students are in for a special treat. The students who attend the College Connections session on Nov. 1 with honored author Teri Case will receive some practical and realistic advice on their applications for both local and national scholarships.
Teri Case, a successful author and founder of the Tiger Drive scholarship has agreed to come to CHS all the way from Florida to visit with and share with students. Because of her own transformative experience with receiving a scholarship she is able to share both her story of hardship and her story of success.
Additionally, she will give the attendees practical advice on writing successful scholarship applications. Teri will cover what readers of scholarships are looking for and what the common errors in applications that she see are.
Teri Case is a native Nevadan. Her alcoholic father, bipolar mother, and nine siblings taught her to watch and learn from others and that laughter can lighten any load (at least for a few seconds). She often travels — watching, learning, and writing about people who want to matter.
Tiger Drive is Teri’s debut novel, and it won Best New Fiction in the 2018 American Fiction Awards. She authors the Vitality Stories newsletter, Goal Setting for Assistants, and has two children’s picture books, one of which, I’m Going to the Doctor?!, was shared on TODAY by Kathie Lee Gifford as her Favorite Thing. Teri runs the Tiger Drive Scholarship for students who want to reach, learn, and grow beyond their familiar environment by attending college.
Seniors if you wish to attend please sign up in the counseling office to receive a pass.
This very special College Connections session will take place on Nov. 1 in the CHS library. All seniors are invited to attend.
