I was only 17 when I learned that I was going to be a momma for the first time. Luckily, I graduated from high school before Momma’s Boy’s arrival. I was so smitten with that boy, I don’t think I could have ever left him all day to return to school. Leaving him at 6 weeks old (with my mom) to begin college was extremely hard. I was so blessed to have the support of my family & a college schedule that didn’t require me to be gone all day. I just can’t imagine.
That is why I feel totally blessed to be able to pay it forward . . . Heidi, my “helper”, quite school & got married shortly after becoming a new mommy her freshman year. She is one of the best little mommy’s I have ever met! After staying home with her baby for a year, she has made the I the decision to high school at home! After a long discussion & lot’s of prayers I agreed to help her! So I am officially “tutoring” a high schooler. I can not express how proud of her I am & how grateful I am to be apart of this journey with her. I pray that God helps me be what she needs & that I am only able to encourage her & help her achieve this goal.
So, what HIGH SCHOOL curriculum are we using you ask? Over the summer we plan to gradually work into a full time work load, but to start with we are using Notgrass curriculum for American History, Literature, & Bible. I actually found this curriculum on one of my readers blogs (I can’t remember which – sorry!) & knew right away that it would be the perfect fit for us. I am very pleased with the format & how ease to use it is, not to mention how I love that it ties rich literature in with History & Bible!!
Please pray that I may glorify God in my schooling with Heidi & pray for her to have the confidence & discipline she needs to succeed in finishing her education.
