Looking Forward

Tis the season...This is the time of year when I start the heavy planning for the following school year, which in this case will be the beginning of high school for our last child. Like most parents that stand at the base of this mountain I have mixed feelings about the next and last phase of our final journey: sadness, joy, relief, excitement...However, the one thing I am not experiencing is fear. Planning and navigating homeschooling through high school does not scare me. I have been through this before and I learned alot from my oldest. Some of what I went through with her, like meeting NCAA and California's UC system a-g requirements, does not apply to my son- that is not the path he's on and that is a wonderful thing for him. I am looking forward to truly tailoring his high school experience to him and his interests. This is the fun part! I'll be posting more about this as the summer progresses, but ds like so many young boys his age, is really "into" video games, and it's something he has been thinking of pursuing as a career for several years. Now, I am fully aware that that this is a booming business and EVERYBODY and their uncle want to break into this industry, it's not like becoming a physician or pharmacist, and so while I will be preparing ds for a career in this field, his high school course of study will actually be preparing him for anything-like sneaking peas into the casserole. Stay tuned for more!
