Brillianteering is a real-life story of a teenager and her parents, coping with the do-or-die years of schooling (Grade 11 and 12). This is a story that many families may be familiar with – struggling with choices of courses, college and coaching classes, coordinating with tutors and mentors and dealing with anxiety and fear of failure, before finally succeeding and entering a great career.
A moving narration about her girl who went through a tough phase, as she tried to break stereotypes and finally succeed with unwavering commitment, hard work and resilience despite all odds that life threw at her.
Using a few top chartbusters of ‘Beatles’ which the girl played to convey her mind many a time, the author, captures the emotional moments they went through in the phase and how holding hands sometimes and letting go at other times, and keeping the faith and belief in the innate abilities of the Girl and giving freedom of choice helped the Girl succeed. The author also speaks as to how the education ecosystem takes one for a ride and how only a few sincere educators, who encouraged the Girl saying “what if you fly”, made a positive impact.
In short, the book provides guidance to parents and teenagers to succeed in this extensively competitive age.
