Building From the Ground Up With Hanna Stotland

Flunking out, suspension, dropping out, getting kicked out. All are very scary situations to be in for both parents and students. Though, they don’t have to be everything and high school and college doesn’t have to be everything. They can be used as launching pads to make the rest of life easier but they don’t have to be put out to be as crucial as they are usually expected to be. One bad thing or situation doesn’t doesn’t always mean one’s entire future and chance to get into what they want to do, is thrown into the trash. People get to the top of steep mountains all the time. It’s the question of how hard you’re willing to work at it and if you have the right support.Hanna Stotland’s academic trek started when she flunked out of high school. Once she got her G.E.D, she managed to get into one community college and went on to pursue Harvard College. After a handful of attempts, Hanna got accepted into Harvard College, which was a huge turn around for her. The climb there wasn’t easy, but it was possible, which most would never think to be possible after flunking out of high school. Not only did Hanna get into Harvard, she went to their law school and graduated with a J.D. degree. As Hanna started to share her story with others, many were surprised and eager to ask her advice. She started to see the need for this type of support for parents and young adults and began her own practice. Hanna now works as an independent educational consultant specializing in crisis management, where she helps students overcome educational interruptions they are experiencing. On this episode of Success is Subjective, Hanna joins Joanna to share her journey going from flunking out of high school to getting into Harvard Law School all on her own. Hanna is an example to parents that the change they hope to see for their student, is more than possible. Listen in for insight on how Hanna has come to find something she finds rewarding in many ways and that her clients and students find completely transforming in their lives.What You Will LearnHow important education was growing up to Hanna’s familyThe experience of being a transfer student in HarvardHigh school and college isn’t as important as one’s healthThe struggles parents face with a troubled young adultGetting kicked out of College College Suspension: It Happens College isn’t Going Anywhere Connect with Hanna StotlandHanna Stotland Call 312-404-2103Email hanna@hannastotland.comReferencesNew York Times Opinion Video: "I Advise Students Accused of Sexual Assault.
