The Encore Experience

-
Lauren was featured today on the Encore High School Instagram account. They are running a: "What will you take away from the Encore Experience" Feature. 

Her reply: 

A strong sense of responsibility and leadership (that was first started by my amazing mother through our fabulous homeschooling using the Thomas Jefferson Education model.) Encore gave me the opportunity to help lead the student body in ASB. (I never would have been elected without the clever idea of these fantastic give aways my mom helped me with): 
Encore has also given me a chance to express myself in ways most public schools can't. Encore has also given many opportunities to perform with other talented artists and students (another skill I developed through my homeschool summer camp program theater experience, "Camp Crabtree, where we put on a theatrical production each summer).

I want to go to college to be a psychologist. My goal is to earn my doctorate degree in medical psychology and help people all around the world.

As you can see Lauren has blossomed into an amazing young woman, but she still remembers her roots as a homeschool student :-)

My boy loves his game time. When this whole virus-crisis started, his school continued as usual. The benefit of being homeschooled. Poor kid watched everyone around him get these huge breaks. Well, the thing of it is, they were just learning differently, because if you buy into my philosophy - everything is learning. So now it's his turn for a break and to learn differently! Happy Spring Break my sweet boy!

Which, on all accounts is their right...but every post turned into an argument over this or that and the finger pointing - oh for heavens sake.  I saw criticism for people who continued to post, people who think all lives matter, people who claim not to see color...the list goes on and on until it consumed me. Consumed me to the point I feel prosecuted as a white woman of privilege. Quit accusing me of crimes I didn't commit!  so I wrote this:  If I corrected you for using the "wrong hashtag" it was because I care about the cause we are supporting. I wanted it to get the credit it deser

I started being more active on my Instagram story by posting daily... It has been a LOT of work but it's fun. This quiz was hard actually. Brought back memories of high school when I put paper clips through my ears as earrings. What a rebel.
