Life of A Homeschooler
Part 1
I am a child of a single parent. Some believed it almost impossible for
a single mom to handle at least 9 children by themselves. Boy are they
wrong. My mother had never failed to handle many children in her entire
lifetime. The reason? A relationship with God and with our brother,
Christ Jesus. Christians find unique ways to cope with life struggles
such as rage,anger, codependency, fear of man, greed, envy, and hate. As
a home-schooler, I get to learn what I want to learn by Unschooling,
the act of teaching yourself what you want to learn, and at your own
pace. Why do we home-schoolers chose home school over public school? One
reason is that we have all the time in the world. In public schools,
however, students are fearful of what others would think about them if
they love certain subjects that others do not, hence my mention of fear
of man. People generally try to do things pleasing to others around
themselves. I, myself, was like this. Before I became a Christian, I
tried my best to fit in with the crowd. I failed because I was different
then everyone around me.
As
a Christian, I stood out before others at my school, but also, I was
rejected by others. I forgive them, however, because Christ had forgiven
me.
As
a home-schooler, I get many benefits. I am able to go to college early,
get jobs, and go to many fun and exciting places such as Six Flags.
I
moved to this home shortly before my eighteenth birthday. If it had not
been done so, I would have been living with my father in San Antonio,
Texas and would be working as a construction worker under the sun
everyday. Luckily, that had not happened and I will be able to be
successful in life. I had in fact, been the first to go to college in my
biological bloodline! A great success.
On
my next chapter I will lead you through my life as a day to day
experience. I hope you are well and I wish to see many comments on what
you think of this blog, God Bless!!,
