What is SOUND DECISIONS?
A personalized coaching service, primarily working with youth in their educational goal development, self confidence, and likely vocation targets.
What is COLLEGE SEARCH COACHING?
Our College Search program combines our expert advice with practical involvement from the high school student & parent. With today's incredible financial resources, our belief is that no parent should ever say "I wish I could" send my child to college. Economic trends demonstrate you cannot afford to miss an average of 30% increased earnings that your student will secure by extending their education. We often recommend Bachelor's Degrees @ four year universities, and we emphasize the benefits of Private Institutions because of their net cost / value. Our CSC strategies will maximize your college options!
Who is behind it?
Charles Ezell is a parent of 2 students that have completed the college search and admission process. But he still recalls life as a HS junior with limited career insights. After leveraging his job at a local grocery store to earn scholarships, he was exposed to a new world of economic opportunity. Quickly becoming an avid user of federal financial aid dynamics at age 17, Charles completed his Bachelor's degree in Business-Marketing, sourced 100% from scholarships, part time jobs, and even federal grants. Since graduation in 1987, he has had an exciting career with Fortune 100 General Mills Inc., using his teaching, planning, and problem solving talents. Additionally, via Sound Decisions, he has coached numerous families to stretch themselves to the highest possible education personally available to them.
