The Road Less Traveled…
It was 4:30 in the morning when my road diverged and I was given a new mission. As I was chastising God for all my unanswered prayers (that’s another story 😉), his voice clearly whispered, “homeschool,” not once but twice, and my world was forever changed. Over twelve years have passed now, and two out of four of my kids have graduated.
Did I start my homeschool journey intending on graduating my kids from high school? I did. Why? Because I needed to be all in for my kids to be all in. Because my kids needed to see that I was committed to them. Because quitting was not an option.
Veering off a mainstream road to forge your own path is humbling, terrifying, and exciting. Has it been a perfect journey? HAHA - goodness no! But it has been the best journey of my life.
Can you homeschool from kindergarten through high school? YES!
Have I done this? YES!
Will I help you with your journey? YES!
So here is a little inspiration from my heart to yours …
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I love you! I am proud of you! I believe in you!
