Homeschool Family- Shining Moments Sharing Our Homeschool Journey


We went to our Annual FPEA Homeschool convention this week and weekend. We stayed at the Gaylord Hotel in Kissimmee. It is an amazing hotel and we took a ton of photos that we will share with you over the next couple of weeks. 

A lot of the photos that we took we can also use on our ActiveRain blog and on our websites because they are SOOOOO FLORIDA!!! 

I learned so much. Each time I come to homeschool convention I think I know as much as there is to know since we have been homeschooling for over 28 years. But when we started homeschooling there were no computers, no fax machines, no copy machines! No laminating machines! No cell phones, no email and no texting!!! As fast as we learn new information we discover there is suddenly so much more to learn. To learn as a teacher, as a parent, as a citizen and as a student. 

Our little guy goes to a full day of PE classes each week with SAINTS which is CHAA Saints, Christian Homeschool Athletic Association along with thousands of other homeschool kids around the state of Florida, now Texas and next month- Africa! 

Coach Rick from Saints is a speaker at homeschool conventions. He is a youth pastor and loves children. He is a shining example for the children. It is great to have good role models outside of the immediate family for our sons and daughters. 

SAINTS has a booth at the FPEA Homeschool Convention and of course we had to stop there to take a photo of some of the Coaches with our son. So here is the first photo we are posting about our trip and convention.

So here you go! Much more to come so stay tuned. And if you are considering homeschooling your kids- know that there are a ton of support systems for you including tons of loving homeschool families with open arms to welcome you to the fold.

Homeschooling is much different - with all the support system they have - and with Internet, it's even better.

My kids are already grown up - but we have almost had 'home schooling', monitoring them all through, checking their homework, helping them at home with homework. Most Asian families have this trend.

Nestor & Katerina- Congratulations to you for taking such an active roll in your child's education.  I often wondered how home schoolers addressed the physical education and team sports. Thanks for sharing this and can't wait to see the photos of the baby alligators!!!

You know, I had not met a lot of people who home schooled their children, but now I am seeing it everywhere I go! Our neighbors home school their children and I just happened to be in VA Beach a few weeks ago when there was a convention. In addition, twitter has opened my eyes to a whole new way of education.

Glad you had a good time!

Homeschooling is something that definitely takes a special person or special circumstances.  Due to husband being public school teacher, we felt it was hypocritical to home school our kids.  Plus I'm pretty sure I don't have that personality.

Susan- I know so many public school teachers who stopped their teaching jobs to teach their children at home because they did not agree with how the public school system works. :)

Praful- I have traveled to most of the world. I lived in Hawaii for 5 years and have worked in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and have been to the Philippines. When I lived in Seattle most of my real estate clients were Vietnamese. I know the Asian culture quite well and totally admire their amazing zest for learning and healthy work ethics. I have hoped to instill this in all of my children and I think we have with most of them. They are ALL good stewards, good citizens and productive contributors to our society. Katerina

My husband and I have homeschooled our children for all but one year of their education.  It is the most fantastic blessing for our family.  And our career as Realtors allows us the flexibility and income to open the world to them.  Glad to see other families riding this wild roller coaster!

Hi Katerina - have also been to the Gaylord Resoirt at the entrance to Disney World and am amazed at the customer experience that is delivered.

While RVing in the late 90s, I was surprised to see how many families in million dollar coaches were traveling the country home schooling their children.  It was also a revelation how many young professionals were on the road discovering the wonderful country we live in, the USA. I thought this life was for retired people....N O T

Recently, in my marketing group, one of our youngest entrepreneurs, age 15, told us his story how he made $3000 in 48 hours with video marketing...the catalyst... skate board park.  His older brother and father would arrive to school one Wednesday out of every month to take this young man out of school to attend our high powered marketing events.  The school adminsitration always protested.  The father took the young man out of this environment and now home schools his son.  Watching him blossom and fulfill his young dreams is proud moment as he now considers us his metors.  He raves about the home school process.

I believe most brilliant minds are bored with the archaic industrialized syllabus still being offered to our children...who are our future.  For us to remain world leaders we must move into IT and fast.

I homeschooled my son through the entire 12 years of his schooling, he just graduated Cum Laude from a very difficult private college and is an amazing child! :)  Good luck to you.
