She has also co-authored a book called Working with Labor Laws, contributing greatly to the academe at age 23. As she continues to thrive in competitive environments, Joanna has failed enough times to realize that success cannot be attained without the onset of failure.

Joanna Young, as she continues to thrive in competitive environments, has failed enough times in the past that she was able to build a work ethic that will always make for a worthy champion. Despite the fact that success has become the forefront of every action people do today, Joanna Young was able to see that there was not enough materials that teach about the necessity of failing. This observation from her of the world propelled her to be the instrument herself, as she now continuously reminds everyone to embrace failure and move forward.
