The title of this post is pretty much self-explanatory.
It can be difficult for those who are unfamiliar with homeschooling to visualize what it looks like on the day to day, and all the many ways the scholarship funds can be used to truly benefit the child's education--often in unconventional ways or ways they may not immediately expect.
We'd love to have a whole thread of wonderful stories about how you, as a UA parent, are utilizing these funds to ENRICH your child's education, and the benefit of that for your children and your families this year.
Drop them below!
We have a 16 year old who had a stroke in utero and has struggled in traditional schools dues to ADHD, Dyslexia, etc. However, he LOVE to build things. for the last few years he has been passionate about wleding. The UA funding allowed him to pursue this passion. He is a junior and dual enrolled at our local tech college. Funding has allowed him to obtain all his supplies he needs for welding and at 16 he has already obtained 3 of his 5 certifications. He is exceling and the only student in his class to already pass these certifications. He will graduate high school with an AS and the ability to start his own welding business. Funding is also covering other classes in Spanish, STEM, Entrepreneurship and more. His brother will graduate architecture from FAU next month. His sister is pursuing her doctroate in Child Psychology. But, with the demand for wleding, we will be able to make a better living then both of them in a career he loves. Having the flexibility to choose our schooling path has been the perfect choice for our kids and allowed them to find their passions and combine them with their talents to make a deep impact through their careers in the future. As a mom of three homeschoolers, I am thankful for the ability to choose. The funding is the icing on the cake.
