Where Learning Takes Place…

Fifteen Year Old Memories Rubbing Like Thorns

At the age of nineteen, I went through a rough time.  It all revolved around a diagnoses of my dad having terminal cancer.  I was home from college on Christmas break when he became ill.  The first doctors who saw him said it was heart related.  Later, it was a gall bladder problem.  so they…

Homeschool vs Virtual School at Home~They are not the same.
