However, only now does it hit you: What about a diploma? He/she’s homeschooled…will he/she need a GED instead? Which one is more beneficial for a […]
I understand it’s hard for several high school students to see beyond their tests, exams, essays, relationships, cramming, studying, partying, and in general, schooling, but I am here to assure you that high school is not the end of the world. Believe me, I made it. Nearly a year ago, I graduated from that oh-so-ominous […]
Visiting colleges can be an overwhelming endeavor. You, the homeschooled student, are probably looking forward to finding what will be your “home away from home” for the next four years, but you are beginning to realize what a huge task you’re up against. Hopefully, this article will help out with making the process easier. First […]
