"You're mine, girl. And I'll do whatever I want with you. Do you understand?" I’ve loved him since I first saw him, but I thought he could never love someone like me. That all changed when he invited me to the club, and I saw the kind of girl he’s attracted to. Now I’m sitting in my car wearing a dress and makeup. My entire body shakes as he comes closer. And when he sees me, we both freeze. We’re each about to experience a side of the other that we’ve never seen. Years of friendship haven’t prepared us for this. Is either of us ready for what comes next?

I thought I was alone. I thought no one would catch me. I'm by myself in people's houses all the time. They trust me. And I've never violated that.

Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out Es / Employees...those "A Students" who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries, and dreamers - entrepreneurs-in-the-making...those "C Students" who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications, and products. The audiobook urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' "letter grades" ("good grades" might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius.
