A Space of my Own

I'm pretty busy with keeping up our family's homeschooling blog, and I've lately been posting about my attempts to enrich my own education. However, it feels a little weird to include with my girls' homeschool stuff; so I'm going to keep a separate blog of my own education pursuits.

I love to learn and feel like I am literally suffocating when I'm not actively learning something new. I earned a degree in history, emphasis in Ancient China and the equivalent of a minor in vocal performance. I currently homeschool my oldest daughter, who would be entering Kindergarten this coming school year; and I plan to homeschool all my children as they approach their respective school ages. Learning is a way of life in our home, and I think it's incredibly important for parents to model "learning behavior."

I love to read and I would love to go back to school for advanced degrees, but think it's wiser to focus my attention on my family at this point in my life. I am chartreuse with envy when my husband talks about going to graduate school, and eagerly await the time when graduate studies become a wise option for myself. Until then, I will happily amble along the road of self-education...

  1. You know Sister Hinckley never went to college but she was a very wise woman. I remember reading how she would study on her own because she loved reading and learning.
