It is the fulfillment of one of her greatest dreams that she could make a dedicated effort to reach her goal and achieve university level degrees.
"It is a positive attitude in people who desire to fullfill their goals," says Charlotte M. Liebel, "and I hope to give readers an understanding and remove the mystery of higher learning.
Education has the building blocks for competing in the workforce on every level and in every desired career. Learning can be taught." This last thought is meant to encourage all adults to enter a "psychological mind" of positive thinking, according to Ms. Liebel.
Excerpt
“During my psychological studies, I learned that people who devote all their time thinking negative thoughts can develop anxieties and illnesses. However, it is broadly understood that the mind can be re-programmed to accept or resist negativity. It can just as well promote or reject possibility.
“The brain is an amazing organ that controls the functions of the body. It can be conditioned to remember and to forget important data. Thoughts and behaviors are learned and remain in one’s memory until such time as they might be erased by amnesia, disease, or death. Memory is a function of the mind and contains the sum of a person’s life in the brain. We must learn, then, how to develop the best brain activity that we can--to help it perform longer and better.”

Reviews for "Journey to the M.A. Degree Educational Psychology and Literacy"
Ventura, CA. Author Charlotte M. Liebel, M.Ed., who returned to college after raising her family, has written a new book that will give students a first hand look into continuing education as an adult. It is a wise investment for those who want to take their education further and make the most out of it: “for competing in the workforce...in every desired career.” As a student myself I wish I would have had this valuable information and, if it were up to me, this “hand book” would be made available in all college book stores!
This book is Ms. Liebel’s effort to give back to society, explaining why it is possible for adults to continue their education. Journey to the M.A. Degree gives examples of class work to express how ideas develop and how everyone can learn with no exceptions ~ “If we have the desire, we can do anything. Give yourself permission to go to college.”
Not only does this book give brief previews of essays and study guides for college courses it explains the importance of the need for higher education in the workforce.
Ms. Liebel was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a strong influence of the philosophy of Mark Twain. As a young woman she and a friend would walk the streets of the French Quarters dressed up in their Sunday finest watching the artistic painters. From the alley facing St.Louis Cathedral, they would continue their journey and then enjoy a cup of chicory coffee and binets at the Café Du Monde and literally soak up the culture for which New Orleans is famous.
Ms. Liebel is credited with many well received reviews including the movie, “Benjamin Button,” and books of the The Orphan Train Trilogy. These and others can be read on her Wordpress websites found at Sharliebel’s Blogs. Journey to the M.A. Degree is a book that will inspire and encourage returning as well as new students on their journey into the world of higher education. Xlibris is the publisher and it is available in paperback and ebook at all booksellers.
