Last week, I attended a Christian College Fair at Berean Christian School in Knoxville, TN. I learned a lot and, as I was leaving, I met a wonderful lady who shared from her own experience as a mom. These private conversations you will have at such events matter a lot. I did not plan on meeting this person. That’s when you know God is leading you to the right people. I will probably never run into her again, but her words will stay with me for a long time.

We all want the best for our children. When challenging times happen, it feels good to have mentors or counselors or friends who have walked this way before. They can share from their experience. This is why I decided to blog and share digital content about homeschooling. Many people have helped me. I want to help others.
Going to college is one thing. The College Application Process is another thing altogether. It is grueling. It is tough. Not for the faint of heart. You have to keep on keeping on.

The College Admissions Process takes several months. Our son has already walked through all the steps, except the last one: scholarship essays. Things are set in motion. He doesn’t need to decide anything for sure for two more months. Plenty of things can happen between now and December 15. Let the chips fall where they may.
This mom, sharing from the heart, made my day. At the end, tearing up, she said, “Some kids can really benefit from a gap year. My daughter bottomed out of college during her first year and never went back. She is in her 30s now and fairly successful. Going to college is not just about academics.” We hugged and said goodbye. Was she an “angel” from the Lord?
