Thanks Travis! Thanks for taking the same service-minded attitude and sharing it with those you have introduces to the summer sales program!

We probably should send this to all parents in america that are concerned that we are not looking out for their children’s best interest in our program… I have never felt more cared for and had more support than from my fellow companions in the SW experience other than from my own mother. I feel truly blessed that I received a phone call one evening about selling books. Thank you Bakken for the call, and KAC for the positive feedback!

Thank you, TAC, for such a heartfelt response that provides encouragement for all student dealers. We look forward to meeting more families like yours (as Lucy stated). In response to Brandan’s and Trey’s reply, I am reminded of the quote many of our leaders use: “it’s hard to be nervous when your mind is on service.”

“We do a great thing!”

KAC-thank you so much for your post! As a student dealer myself, it is always so nice to hear back from the families that purchase books from us! Like Brandon alluded to, it really does re-emphasize the importance of what we do and the service that we provide. Thanks again, KAC. I am so happy that you enjoy our books! I will be going on my fourth summer in a few months, and I will be looking forward to meeting more families like you!

This is just what I needed to see. My room mate and I just had a deep conversation about the “why” to life and I had to ask myself just who am I trying to help besides myself? Fortunately, my answer echoed everything I just read
We do a great thing

These books are awesome and so is the HoP blog! I have a set and read them to my kids all the time. You can never place too much value on investing your children’s education. Having educational products in the home is an important part of the developmental process. It should not be up to the schools and teachers to take on the responsibility alone. It has to start at home. Thanks Southwestern and all the college students that sell the books to families! This is a service to each community you touch.
