Press Release Summary: Winning Hearts Leads to Winning College Scholarships

Press Release Body: Think of the word EURbriberyEUR and Enron, kickbacks, politics, and
government come to mind. But, there is a good kind of bribery. An Illinois high
school studentEUR(tm)s Dad made it a goal to find out the birthdays and anniversary dates
of each of his childEUR(tm)s teachers. Then, throughout the school year, the teachers
received cards, candy, and flowers. This behavior was unexpected. Some might even
call the actions EURbribes.EUR The result? It made the teachers feel appreciated needed
and turned ordinary days into exceptional ones to be remembered for months, and even
years to come.

Dale Clifton, author of EURThe Best Little Scholarship Book in the WorldEUR and EURThe
Champions Goal SetterEUR for high school students, notes that little remembrances are
cherished, and the people who give them are not forgotten. EURWe all like to be
remembered in caring ways. The administrators, teachers, staffs and bus drivers of
your school arenEUR(tm)t any different. Kind words are good, a thoughtful note is better,
but a small gift is best.EUR

A Wisconsin teacher remarked in class that he had lost his gloves and his hands had
not yet thawed out from shoveling snow before school. Clifton relates, EURThe next
day, the teacher came to his room and noticed a pair of brand new gloves on his
desk. The mother of the student who brought the gloves sent the teacher an Email.
What did that teacher say in his recommendation letter for that studentEUR(tm)s later
scholarship applications? Everything good, bet on it!EUR

Clifton asks, EURWho will be affecting your student? Who will your student have for
teachers in the coming year?EUR Find out who they are. Remember the receptionist in
the guidance office, the cooks, and custodians. Bus drivers often have a
particularly difficult situation. DonEUR(tm)t forget the principal and vice-principal.
Many times these people are only remembered when something negative happens. Let
them know you recognize and appreciate the jobs they perform for the benefit of
your child.

Favors and kindnesses are always returned. And, in those few short years, when
college scholarship time rolls around, people will be happy to write glowing
testimonials for your student. Make that commitment for your student. The results
will astound and produce huge scholarship dividends.
