Hey All,

Just wanted to introduce myself too. I am a female 16 years old who loves God, family and friends.
I am homeschooled and will graduated this 2004 school year. I plan to go into nursing as a career.
I am heavy involved in my church as a preschool teacher, AWANA leader and youth leader.
I am also President of my 4-H club and have participated in many competitions through 4-H.
I also do a lot of volunteer work in my community.

I already have enjoyed meeting several of you.
I hope I can be a blessing.

Slow Roasted,

You asked how I like homeschooling. Well.... I LOVE IT!!
I went to a Christian private school for K-4 but started hs in K-5.
I am graduating a year earlier because of hs. HS allows me the pleasure of doing as much as I want to and study subjects not offered in the regular realm of school. Plus I don't have to worry about dressing up and can even wear my pjs while I do my schooling. My schedule is soo full also I can do a lot more in my church & community that I could not have normally done if I was attending a public school. One of the concerns some people have about hs is the social aspect and I can promise you I have no problem in that area. I would recommend it to anyone!!

Recess
Is great!! that is the beauty of homeschooling. You can work your schedule differently if you need to. and I can start a little later in the day if I had an extremely late night prior. I can also work on Saturdays, holidays, traveling etc....
Like I said be I am graduating a year earlier because I worked ahead.

Social you should follow me around a week!!
I am heavily involved at my church which has a LARGE youth ministry which I am one of the leaders in. I am also a assistant preschool teacher, AWANA leader, greeter, ladies missionary league member.
I am president of my 4-H group which I compete in several areas local & state. I was selected to be a delegate from my state for 2003 National 4-H Congress.
I baby-sit for several families. I am also involved in community volunteer work in different areas. PLUS
hanging out with my friends as much as possible!

The BIG problem for me is.......finding time to sleep. LOL
