DEDICATION

This is dedicated to my husband, parents, and my Nana, for molding me and shaping me into not just a survivor, but a conquerer of all of my fears and roadblocks.

I couldnt have made it without witnessing

what true tenacity of spirit would bring.

To all of my friends and family who constantly told me I should write this book and others. Your belief in me was the best motivation anyone could ask for, and it fed me.

To my readers who keep cheering me on by reading and reviewing my books.

To my many friends and family who encouraged me to write this book and create the courses that support my radical way of doing things, I thank you.

And to God, who guided and shaped me through many of lifes adventures.

WELCOME FROM THE AUTHOR

I am happy to be in the position the help others on the path to homeschooling, after-schooling, and acceleration of learning while working a full-time job or business.

All of my life, I have been around and observed inspiring women and men that lived their lives in triumph and determination without complaint about their struggle. They just buckled down and did what needed to be done to support their family in any way necessary. My parents were teen parents and never married each other, but that didnt stop my mom from funding my private school education with the help of her sisters, the church, and sometimes social services. She didnt give up on my brother or myself and pushed us to do much with the gifts wed been given.

I had never considered homeschooling my children until my youngest child suggested it to me when he was in the 2nd grade. At that point in his young life, hed had a bad opinion of school, had been bruised by a teacher, was mentally beat down by many others, and wanted something different. I dont know where he got the idea. It was divine intervention. It hurt my heart that my youngest child hated school so much. He wasnt thriving there. The traditional method of education he attended was beating him down. Numerous visits to the principal and the school frustrated my husband and me. They constantly tried to convince us to pursue testing then medicating of our son for his overactivity.

My husband and I enrolled him in a private school. There his behavior improved, but his self-esteem and fear of not being good enough didnt. At that point, I told my husband I would research ways to work and homeschool him. Then, my oldest and youngest daughters voiced their desire to homeschool. I couldnt find any information on homeschooling while working, which is why I decided to create this book.
