Merci Alice!

I'm not much of a writer. My grammer is not perfect and I don't care to much to use spell check. I'm a little embarrassed with the fact my younger cousin can even stump me on the ginormous (did I spell that right?) vocabulary she uses. But with a little inspiration from her and her funny creative blog (with big words I dont understand) I thought I might give this blogging thing a shot. Why not?! Thats why this first one is dedicated to you Alice!
This cousin of mine is to brag about. She's just cool. Having been home schooled all her life I can say one thing, I will be more than happy to homeschool my children in the future! I get the feeling a lot of people have a misunderstanding of this way of education. And sure maybe sometimes it doesn't work out for a child because of whatever reason. But that's the case in a big percentage of student in a public education too. Lets give my aunt and uncle some credit here too. If you can present knowledge to a child as something curious and fun they are going to go searching for it. If there is one thing I regret from my education (from a public school) it would be that going to school was a chore for me, a miserable 12 boring years of watching a clock tick away. I wish I would have ignored this clock and absorbed what knowledge someone was throwing out there to me. What I'm trying to say is the perspective I get with my two home schooled, very creative, intelligent, SOCIABLE, curious, big-word-using cousins is positive. And I must admitt I'm a little jealous. I was never curious or focused. Knowledge is power, power to who you are, what you can become of yourself! I just want to repeat myself here, present a child with knowledge and learning skills (do not FORCE it upon them) and they will go searching!


(Wow this blog thing is kinda fun!)
Merci Alice!
