Before I Graduate
A heartfelt gift for every student trying to find their way.
College is more than classes, grades, and late-night study sessions. It’s a journey of faith, fear, and becoming. Behind every major and career path lies a student quietly wondering, “Am I doing the right thing? Is this really what I’m meant to do?”
Before I Graduate captures those questions through the voices of students navigating the beautiful and uncertain path toward purpose. Each page holds a story, a prayer, and a reminder that faith and direction often grow in the moments we feel most lost.
Written by Erica Latasha, a higher education professional with over twelve years of experience helping college students find their purpose, this book was born from real conversations and countless office hours spent listening, guiding, and praying. It is a reflection of every student who has ever doubted themselves and every advisor, teacher, parent, or friend who wanted to help them believe again.
Whether given as a graduation gift, a send-off to college, or a personal keepsake, Before I Graduate invites readers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. It is a reminder that purpose unfolds one prayer, one step, and one act of courage at a time.
For every student facing uncertainty, this book reminds you that every question, every prayer, and every step is shaping the person you are meant to be.
This Isn't What I Planned
Maybe you thought life would look different by now.
Maybe you worked hard, followed the rules, chased the dream, and still ended up somewhere that doesn’t feel like purpose.
This book is for you.
This Wasn’t the Plan is a letter to every dreamer who did everything right and still got lost along the way. It’s for the ones who thought their degree would open doors but instead found themselves working jobs they never wanted, wondering if God had forgotten their name.
These pages hold stories of people who dreamed big, prayed hard, and still ended up standing in the middle of disappointment. But in every story, there’s a quiet thread of faith, a reminder that God still writes in the dark, that delay doesn’t mean denial, and that sometimes detours are divine.
This book isn’t about giving up. It’s about learning to believe again when the plan falls apart, when the timeline runs out, and when you’re not sure if you have the strength to keep trying.
If you’ve ever whispered, “God, this wasn’t the plan,” I wrote this for you.
You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten.
You’re just becoming who you were meant to be all along.
The Acron Of Destiny
Sasha has spent years helping others chase their dreams while quietly burying her own.
By day, she’s an academic advisor with a practiced smile. By night, she scrolls through an old writing forum where her forgotten voice once lived
Then, one evening, a mysterious acorn appears on her desk warm to the touch, softly humming with something that feels like hope. And Sasha’s quiet world begins to shift.
The acorn glows. Wishes awaken. And every dream it touches demands something in return.
As Sasha’s mother’s faded salon is reborn, and her own words go viral across the world, she’s forced to face the truth about what she’s created and what it’s costing her.
A tender, magical story about healing and the courage to begin again, The Acorn of Destiny reminds us that the real miracle isn’t found in being seen by the world it’s in remembering who we were before we stopped believing in ourselves.
