Houston Gunn, a high school student, hopes to influence the next generation of America's youth to take action as future entrepreneurs with his new book "Schooled for Success: How I Plan to Graduate from High School a Millionaire" (published by iUniverse). In it, Gunn describes how a simple high school assignment turned into a major accomplishment. He navigates readers through his high school experiences, from the classroom to the symphony hall, his challenges with the school systems and advice on how to have a successful future.
"This book is a true life story of just a kid who thinks a bit differently. It shares my secret sauce of how I have been schooled for success and influenced and encouraged by my entrepreneurial family," states Gunn. "I've learned that to be successful you need to speak up and ask for what you want. I want to inspire America's youth to take action, to set goals and reach them."
Praise from Donald J. Trump for "Schooled for Success":
"Houston has written a book that should be read by all high school students - and parents - who are looking for a productive and successful future. 'Schooled for Success' is a terrific handbook for learning the basics in an easy-to-read format. A job well done!"
