Thriving Not Just Surviving….

Last Tuesday evening, we had a “Thriving Through High School and College” seminar for Bayou Cajun Homeschoolers.  One of our moms, Therese, was gracious enough to share her wealth of knowledge with our moms.  She is a mother to seven whom she has homeschooled all the way through high school and still homeschooling some.  Two of her children have graduated from college, two are currently in college and should be finishing in May 2013, and she has three still at home that she is teaching.  She gave us info on what is required in our state for homeschoolers and what the local colleges are looking for or expecting in order to enroll.  Also, she shared how they can receive high school credits along with college credits by taking classes at the local colleges during high school.

It was a very informative night.  Everyone shared other info and asked questions.  There were moms there who were just starting out all the way to season moms who have been doing this for awhile.  One of our moms had just graduated a child from high school and he will be starting college in the fall.  She was able to share her experience as well.

We started out with some goodies:

Therese leading our discussions.  She had print outs for us so we could follow along with her and take notes while we listened.

Thank you Therese for giving up one of your evenings to share and encourage the other moms!  Thank you Candi for opening your home for our meeting.  Also, thank you Tiany and Candi for helping out with the goodies.  I appreciate all of you.
