Getting into College Easier Than STAYING in College

In the U.S., an employee with a college degree earns approximately $630,000-$900,000 more in gross median income than someone with only a high school education. So why do thirty percent of college students drop out during their first year of school?

In "God Is… Lessons I Learned about God in College," author Nysi Kilgore provides a guide for navigating the challenges of college and early stages of adulthood, while nurturing a more intimate spiritual relationship with God.

"Anxiety, depression and emotional inability to cope are some of the biggest reasons students drop out of college," Kilgore said. "I went to college expecting the best four years of my life. Instead, I faced constant stress, separation anxiety and loneliness. My experience inspired this book, as well as my career."

At just 16 years old, Kilgore became an ordained minister and, at 17, was the youngest person to graduate from her private, Christian high school. Now 20, she already holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and is working toward her master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. She is also the founder and CEO of Rooted Anchor, a faith-based community for encouraging students toward completing their personal and professional goals.

"College is a time of transition and transformation," Kilgore said. "If we are open and willing to grow, we can find purpose on the other side of struggle."
