Carl Boniface, CEO Student Success Stories had a rough ride at High School in  London from 1971-1977. In his early days at the boys school he had a bad experience with an English teacher, and although at the time he was unaware of its effect he was unable to focus his attention during class. This led to an attitude problem, which spiraled out of control.

Pretty soon he was mixing with the classroom ruffians becoming mischievous and tenacious. Bunking OFF, in other words playing truant or effectively being absent from classes meant he could sense a feeling of control allowing him to feel important, smoking cigarettes and using his dinner money to buy chip patties, an unhealthy option instead of nutritious school meals. He even stole for kicks!

Mixing with the wrong crowd meant having fights regularly with other gang leaders. Notoriously he would have to defend his image as the top dog while his reputation grew. He received a total of eighteen whips of the cane during schooling, which in those days was given on the bum for disorderly conduct.

He screwed up his whole schooling and failed all exams from not being prepared. He left school at sixteen years of age with no qualifications – a complete utter waste of his time, but also the resources that were made accessible to him. Realizing this 30+ years later he has dedicated the rest of his life to helping students in need!

While developing Student Success Stories he understood that statistically many students have difficulties to overcome ongoing pressures. He also realized many would never consciously make the effort to wise up and benefit from middle to secondary school education. His objective began to form after producing his first teenager site called Students Ratings, which helps encourage students to build self-confidence in education, and as a consequence Students Ratings is breaking new ground while surpassing individual self growth barriers. 

Carl's philosophy is KISS keep it simple stupid; "It doesn't matter ones ethnic background, color, educational skills, or financial support. What matters is ones attitude. I'm a great believer in making the decision to just do it." As Zig Ziglar, the  remarkable motivational speaker says, "Every choice you make has an end result." Another great quote of his is, "If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner." So Carl's suggestion is to work  with Student Ratings to become more positive. Enable ones hidden abilities and skills to come out and create the winning edge!

Student Success Stories is the latest trend to supporting educational growth, and those students who make the effort to start writing their own success stories are planning for improvement; therefore contributing toward personal stimulation to reach new heights, set new standards, and move forward like never before! Students Ratings guarantees the sky is the limit with personal development.

Helping students who want positive direction is a gift that impacts others; helping a small percentage of followers  makes Student Ratings grateful to contribute its services. If you would like to contribute Student Ratings  welcomes  your support and would like to hear your views and experiences.
