16 looks a lot different than it used to !
Fellow parents , you probably remember being a part of the rush of kids lining up at the DMV the very second those 16th birthdays rolled around . You may also have noticed that your teens aren ' t as excited about getting their own license . What gives ? We decided to take a closer look at what is behind this reluctance to drive , as well as offer a bit of reassurance and maybe even a gentle nudge . We hope you and your teen find it helpful !

What our Readers are Saying !
Potential Magazine is the greatest tool that a parent can have in his or her toolbox for getting a child into college . If parents would begin reading this publication with their students by 8th grade , I think we would see the number of students entering college , technical school , or the military sky rocket . Using the College Organizer has been one of the most amazing tools in my toolbox . Students love the digital versions of the publication . I love being able to put my hands on something that I can throw into my tote bag . Mrs . Mashburn has provided students and counselosr with the knowledge and confidence they need to demystify the post secondary educational planning process . I am excited to receive my periodic emails , and I closely follow the Facebook page to provide parents with the latest and breaking information . Did I say this publication is user friendly ? The graphics and internet links are well organized and easy to follow . I promise , I am not being paid for my testimony ! This is the real deal . Thank you , Potential Magazine !
Keep up the great work !
