Introduction to Reality Home School

For many children in our area today is the first day of school. Not so here at Reality Home School. Since I have daycare children through this week I decided to wait another week. Why ask for trouble?

Today I thought I would start with introductions. I am Learning Coach, mom to six children, so far, and wife to my best friend in the world Learning Master. We have been home schooling for about 15 years now. At this point it has become a way of life and not something that we do.

The oldest son, Genius, is now 22, married and has a 2 month old baby…my first granddaughter. He graduated from home school at 15 and started his college career and had to wait until he was 18 to start working in the field he chose, electronics. He now works for Intel.

Our oldest daughter, Miss Social, is now 20 and living on her own. She graduated from our home school at age 15 and started cosmetology school. She finished it at 18 and LOVES being a cosmetologist. I’m sure she will have her own salon some day soon. She’s great at what she does.

The next son, Mr. Easy Going, is now 16 and ready to embark on his college career. He graduated our home school at the end of last year. His plans are to take a couple of classes this term and then go in full-time during winter term. He is so excited and ready to get started on his engineering degree.

Our next son, Designer, is now 14 and is ready for the new school year any time. He doesn’t mind waiting since he just picked up the latest book Eldest by Christopher Paolini and is busy with that.

Our next daughter, Princess Shy, is 12 and ready to start a school year too, although, she’d be just as happy outside with the horses as anything else. When she’s not looking at the horses she’s reading about them or playing a computer game with horses. But, she is willing to pull her head out of the clouds long enough to do other things, if only occasionally.

Our youngest daughter, Little Miss, is four. She is REALLY looking forward to “doing school” with the rest of the children this year. She already has her school books, pencil, paper, markers and crayons along with her new Portable DeskWe’ll see how long her enthusiasm lasts.

Well, that’s all of us in a nutshell. We’re all looking forward to a new school year and sharing with all of you in our journey.
