kathleen Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi everyone! I have been gone from the board for nearly a year now, though still homeschooling my youngest son. He graduates at the end of next week--can't believe it!--and will matriculate at Hillsdale College in their honors program late in the summer. I am also just about finished with the 20th C history and literature class I have been teaching online. That has been fun, a lot of work, and challenging because of all the changes that have taken place over the past year. Anyway, it is good to see so many familiar names, and I hope to pay more attention in the future. I do hope to continue teaching some online classes over the next few years. What does everyone else do with their time after finishing homeschooling? It would feel so weird not to teach someone! Blessings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in Central TX Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi Kathleen! It's great to see you back on the boards. I can't believe that both of your boys are graduated. Time does fly... Take care, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Welcome back. I hope you find something nice to do with your free time. I suspect that my next project will be taking care of my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi there! I was wondering about you just this week. I thought your younger son must have graduated last year since we hadn't heard from you in a long while. Good to "see" you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen in VA Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Good to hear form you. Glad you're doing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in MA Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It's good to hear from you again; I always appreciate your wisdom. I still have one 7th grader at home, but my oldest is also graduating this year. I, too, wonder what I will do with my "free" time after the youngest one has moved out. Let us know how you enjoy your on-line teaching endeavors! Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet in WA Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 What does everyone else do with their time after finishing homeschooling? It would feel so weird not to teach someone!Hi, Kathleen! I, too, have been absent from these boards for quite a while. But I lurk here on the HS board and answer the occasional question when I feel I have something to share. We graduated our youngest son 4 years ago, so I'm feeling more and more limited in that regard. For my part, I took a year to just consider my options. I ended up going back to work. I didn't really feel the need to keep teaching -- I've never considered teaching a gift or a passion of mine, so I can't say I missed it.

Guest Katia Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi Kathleen! My dd is at Hillsdale as well...she'll be a Sophomore this fall. I can't believe her first year of college is over. Wow. Time certainly flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veronica in VA Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Welcome back! My youngest will be graduating next year - time does go fast. I'm not sure what I will be doing after that either. I've worked part time for years, but my field is sort of drying up, so new adventures await I guess. Veronica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaNY Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi Kathleen!! It's so good to see you! :seeya: I'll be officially done w/hs'ing as of this June. I, too, wonder what it is going to be like not teaching any longer. Congratulations on your son entering Hillsdale. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleen Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks everyone! I appreciate the welcome back. Margaret in CO, he is really looking forward to the Honors Program. He's actually taking a summer class at Hillsdale beginning next week, and then going on their Italy Western Civilization trip in July. I guess he's pretty excited about Hillsdale :001_smile:.
