LIFE LESSONS FOR
THE ROAD AHEAD
DENNIS TRITTIN
Dennis Trittins book really captures what I wish I had known when I reached that critical juncture between childhood and adulthood. The book is uplifting and encouraging, full of common sense and deep wisdom. Dennis writes in such a comfortable, engaging style that I couldnt put it down! The book is as valuable to parents as it is to young adults.

In What I Wish I Knew at 18, Dennis Trittin discusses the vital issues facing young people as they move into adulthood. In a relaxed and conversational manner, he presents wise advice, challenging us to reflect and redirect our life through better choices. While this book will resonate with young adults, parents, school counselors, and youth leaders will also find the book thought provoking and engaging. I am inspired to be a better parent to my high school and college age children and a better manager at work.
TOM KAMP,
President and CIO, Cornerstone Capital Management
I have made great use of What I Wish I Knew at 18 in a variety of classes, such as Parents and Children, Individual and Family Relationships, and Life on your Own. My students respond well to the teen-friendly language of the text, and the accompanying student guide includes questions and writing topics that inspire useful discussion and written reflection. Trittins book has become a valued resource, and one I turn to often.
PAM WICKMAN
Family and Consumer Science Teacher, Kimberly High
As a university president, I have the privilege of working with some of the brightest, most amazing young people. What often separates those who perform very well from those who struggle is the understanding of basic life skills. Dennis Trittins book provides a clear outline of the important things young adults ought to be thinking about as they enter adulthood. I wish I had this great resource when I was 18 and headed off to college. I am confident that students who consider these topics will be best prepared for a life of independence.
BECK A. TAYLOR, PH.D,
President, Whitworth University
This book has been a tremendous asset to my teaching. I work with a very specific group of at risk youth with barriers in their lives that may prevent them from graduating. The book and student guide have had a great impact on my students, motivating them to look ahead at their future goals, become more productive citizens and, most importantly, putting others before themselves. I would highly recommend this curriculum to other teachers.
MICAH ARNEBERG,
Business Teacher/Learning Coordinator, Mt. Tahoma High
I have used What I Wish I Knew at 18 in Washington D.C. with dozens of young interns from nations all over the world. They have been unanimous in their appreciation and enthusiasm for what they have learned. The topics are beautifully relevant and practical in these critical years when boys become men and girls become women and the trajectory of their lives is determined.

Past President, Young Life

To the people who devote their lives to loving,
mentoring, and inspiring kids to follow their dreams

Writing this, my first book, has easily been the most gratifying initiative in my life. It could never have been done without the countless people who have inspired me, taught me essential life lessons, and given support, encouragement, and love throughout my life journey.
My love, gratitude, and affection go to:
God, who granted me the experiences to write this book, and instilled in me the gift of discernment and a heart for kids.
My parents, Carl and Madge Trittin, who devoted their lives to the well being of their children, who demonstrated enduring love and commitment, who taught me to value the simple pleasures in life, and who emphasized the importance of relationships over things.
My wife, Jeanne, who has unselfishly loved and encouraged me throughout our marriage, who has inspired me with her extraordinary courage and endurance, and who has devoted her life to God, family, and service to others.
My two priceless kids, Michael and Lauren, who have given me untold joy, unforgettable experiences, and an incredible journey through the wonders of fatherhood. Many of the life lessons contained in this book came through my observations of and experiences with you. I am SO proud of you and who you are becoming!
My siblings, Rick Trittin, Jan Smits, and Julie Hartjes, who have loved and encouraged their little brother every step of the way, who unceasingly demonstrate the importance of family, who gave me my wonderful brothers-in-law, Ken and Les, and my sister-in-law, Pat, and who brought into this world my precious nieces and nephews.
