How to go from homeschool to college, without stressing about it! #homeschooltocollege #homeschoolhighschool #getintocollege
My teen has been aiming towards college for awhile now... We have researched college websites, scheduled and prepared for the SAT (and survived!), kept our records, dealt with transcripts, not to mention the college essay, college visits and applications, oh my.....!
AND today, we were so pleased to....get a very important package in the mail....
My teen's first college acceptance!

"This book guides the reader step by step through the maze of requirements for college AND gives the gift of comparing requirements for various types of colleges. I am beyond grateful for this book, and highly suggest it to every homeschool family regardless of the stage one is at. Being able to see a long-term educational plan, laid out so effectively, is a gift.

DeleteOh, and bubble tea is a sweet drink with a little tea in it, that our teen loves!
DeleteCongratulations! Where is your daughter going for college and what course will she be taking up? We're from the Phiippines but we're also looking at international colleges for our daughter who's interested to take up animation. I would love to read how you prepared for college!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! My daughter hasn't decided yet, but is thinking about Pacific Lutheran University, and is interested in business. I have written two more posts in this series: "First Step to College- Researching!" and "Second Step to College - Planning! " which you could find by searching for them in this blog..... and look for more posts to come! Nice to meet you!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouraging comment! Time does pass quickly....my teen will be 18 in a few months! Oh, my! If you are interested, I have two more posts on this series, and am working on a third!
That must feel so good - well done both of you! Thanks for stopping by at my blog, I'm looking forward to reading more of your story. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucinda of NavigatingBy.Joy.com! It feesl good to get the nod from a college, and know that all of our work on transcripts, etc has paid off! At the same time, she is still my "baby" and I can't believe she will be a freshman next year, oh, my!...... It's been a wondrous journey. Have a great day!
DeleteCongratulations to both of you! Yay! You both must feel very proud of this milestone!

Thanks, Rachael DeBruin, for stopping by! Wasn't the Superbowl a great game to watch, both teams were so strong. I enjoy linking up every week at the Mom 2 Mom Encouragement Party!
ReplyDeleteI cannot thank you enough Betsy sharing your daughter's high school to college journey! We are soon to be entering the high school phase and the thought certainly keeps me awake at night. Being eclectic homeschoolers as well I'm sure you can remember the trepidation I feel when I think about planning for high school, lol. Your daughter is such an inspiration and seeing your success gives me much encouragement!
ReplyDeleteThanks, lilhomeschoolmama, for stopping by, and for your kind comments! Oh, I sure was nervous, when we first started homeschooling high school! But we are so glad that we did. I wish you the best in your journey, and feel free to check out my posts on Our Steps to College, on BJ's Homeschool, if you decide to go that way. Have a good day,
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I know how much hard work it takes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie!
