Book Description
In Ladakh, there is a popular saying: Only the 'truest of friends' and 'fiercest of enemies' come to Leh. Nikhil and his group of dysfunctional friends belong to the third kind: 'craziest of wannabes'. Going Leh on bike would need them to surmount the road of world's highest passes and deadliest traps. And just when they begin to reckon that life can't get messier, they get stranded in an inhospitable land. It is here that their conflicting emotions surface, their dark secrets unfold and their fears come alive. It is here that they begin to apprehend the real essence of life. There can be no worldly justification to nurture such unrealistic option ahead of their lives. But why can't they resist its temptation? Why should they find it tempting at first place? Is this what they had sought to achieve when they left home? Is this the decisive journey of their rebellion? Would this consummate their search for that triumphant moment, their quest 'For That Incredible High'?

High Achiever
Author: Tiffany Jenkins
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0593135938
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics—a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis. “Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black.”—Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie When word got out that Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she’d committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she’d been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends—their friends—were the ones who’d arrested her. A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany’s life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she’d done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease—whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Book Description
"Over the past two decades, the Union, Oklahoma, School District transformed from serving a predominantly white, well-off student population to one that is racially diverse, with many students hailing from families in poverty. Yet, the graduation rate rose considerably even while the district operates on a dime. The district's success can be attributed to its culture of inclusion, designed to enfold and lift up each individual student. The district has made STEM a key feature of the curriculum, from kindergarten through high school. It operates community schools that offer a wide array of services, including after-school activities and health care, in every elementary school. It embraces an 'everyone participates' philosophy in the arts and athletics. And it eases the transition to higher education by offering college classes at the high school"--
