SUBJECT: Senior - Miss Felecia

Hello, my name is Felecia. I live sunny California and love it! I have been homeschooled my entire life. My mom and I went and checked out a little country school down the road from us when I was first ready to start school. My mom wanted God to decide for us whether we should homeschool or go to public school. Many neighbor kids went to this little school just but 10 minutes down the road. However, since the district we were in was a different district than the one the school was in, we had to apply for a transfer from what would normally be our school district. My mom prayed that if it was God’s will that I go to this little public school that we would be able to get the transfer. Otherwise she knew that it would be His will that we homeschooled. Well, she put in for the transfer and it was denied! So, we have been homeschooling ever since and we have no regrets!

I have two younger siblings, my bro Shane is 16 and my sis Priscilla is 13. We have been in a charter school since I was in first grade and have had the same “teacher” for all these years. She has been a great help to us!

As far as subjects that I am currently doing, I have done most of my required subjects already and only have five subjects this semester. I am hoping to get graduated by first semester. My subjects are as follows: Math Review, P.E., Earth Science, Child Development and Volunteering at the hospital. I could include “Bible” as others have since I go to church 4x a week (one night being the time we separate into age groups for classes) besides doing personal and family devotions, but the school we are in, unfortunately, will not take that. I am interested in the medical field, especially OB/GYN and midwifery.

My #1 goal in life is to serve Christ Jesus my Lord and make heaven my home! Second to that, my biggest desire is to have a family. If God wills that I get a career, then it will work out, but I would like to be at home once I have kids. Other than that some of my other interests include reading/writing, scrapbooking, little kids, horse-back riding (I took lessons and loved it so much – would LOVE to be able to go riding again!), and blogging (of course!).

Since I didn’t do the 10+ things that I like or dislike about homeschooling, I will just mention a few now. #1 is that you have the freedom to learn and talk about God. You also have a lot more freedom and flexibility than those in public school and you are able to a certain degree to learn at your own pace. You don’t have to have the constant pressures on you that are so prevalent in public school.

What is my personal opinion of homeschooling? I think it is awesome and that as many people as possible should do it!

However, I have to say that I am thrilled that this is my last year of high school! Wishing you all a great last few months of high school!
