Recent THINK Global School graduate Yada Pruksachatkun can add another feat to her growing list of accomplishments: as of June 10th, she can now refer to herself as a published author.

In the book, Muchnick (a boarding student himself), Yada and the rest of their fellow contributors draw on their own experiences to provide comprehensive answers to some of the most pressing questions that prospective boarders are faced with.
“I wrote The Boarding School Survival Guide because it was the exact type of book that I was looking for while researching and considering the boarding school experience,” says Muchnick. “I struggled to find ‘real’ information about boarding schools, outside of what school websites or admission officers provided. I figured if I could help answer questions with a book written by students for students, I could bring helpful insight, advice and answers to those interested in boarding school life.”
Yada was one of the first students to attend THINK Global School
Yada’s chapter, entitled “Final Exams: A Necessary (and Unfortunate) Part of Life,” provides useful tips on preparing for the end-of-year exams that can prove unnerving for many. In the chapter, Yada breaks down her best practices, including sleep schedule, use of technology, the importance of downtime, and much more.
The Boarding School Survival Guide, published by Peterson’s, is available for purchase on Amazon. You can also find them on Facebook here. Enjoy Yada’s tips? Let her know in the comments!
