"Teenager Jim Nichols is sure his life will get on the
right trace once he's far away from his mother and ob-

"Peck deftly captures the evolving concerns of 15

reader quickly along, yet his characters are born of un-
usual empathy for the teen age condition."

"The curriculum at Cleveland Community College is excellent. I successfully
transferred to UNCC and entered their Criminal Justice program with junior status.
Presently, I am a senior and have completed my major in Criminal Justice and a
minor in Psychology. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA, and I am one of seven eligible
Criminal Justice students to be awarded an academic scholarship for the fall
semester. The background I received at CCC helps me daily in my studies.
Personally, I have surpassed my expectations of academic merit, and I will always
be grateful for the fine professors that gave me the knowledge with which to build
my continuing education..."
