The 5 Greatest Pros of Homeschooling
This article describes my experience as a homeschooler. Please, don’t jump on me for only only putting the pros in the title of this article and saying nothing about the cons of homeschooling. Each one of the 5 topics I will discuss could either be considered a pro or con depending on how you look at it. Either way I am glad I was homeschooled.
1.Parents
I can’t stress enough how much parents have to do with the process of homeschooling. Parents can either be the greatest con or one of the greatest pros of homeschooling, depending on how much effort they put into there children. If a parent is considering homeschooling then this is the most important consideration. Are they willing to spend the time needed with there children or not? It is without a doubt a full time job.
As a young child I was a fairly slow learner. Reading was the worst. I would get headaches while straining to figure out what word I was staring at. Fortunately, I was blessed to grow up in a home where my parents loved and cared for me. My mom was even able to be a stay at home mom. Despite my complaining, they kept with me. Listen closely, this is one of the greatest pros of homeschooling, they spent tons of quality one-on-one time teaching me how to think logically, how to read and how to write. As they kept with me even reading became easier. Parents get the benefit of being a greater influence in there child’s life. The time spent with my parents is beneficial to this day and as a result I have a better relationship with my parents then I ever would have without the benefit of homeschooling.
Because of the fact that as a child I was a bit slow, I started school a year late. Actually, I went to both pre-school and kindergarten before my parents made the decision to homeschool both me and another sibling. Though, I started school a year late I completed my Associates Science degree the same summer I turned 19. I contribute this success largely to the one-on-one time my parents spent with me. As a result of the hours of one-on-one time spent with my parents I have not only learned to read (without those terrible headaches) but I was even able to receive a full ride scholarship to the University of Toledo for Computer Science and Engineering.

The Secret to Scholarship Success
With rising college costs, continuing inflation, and narrowing job markets; students all over the U.S. are seeking a variety of options for college financing. In many cases, the attainment of a scholarship is the difference in whether a student attends college or not. Scholarships are available from many sources, but knowing how to qualify and be selected as the recipient of a specific scholarship is the big question for most students and parents.
The key to winning college scholarships is through proper planning and taking the appropriate actions at the right time. Some tips for being successful are as follows:
Start Early to ready yourself. Building academic and personal credentials takes time. Transcripts reveal academic achievements from the 9th to the l2th grades, so the 9th grade is a good starting point for high grades and test-taking success. Yet, acquiring a foundation for learning begins earlier in elementary school. The higher the G.P.A. and the higher the SAT/ACT scores the better your chances for scholarships.
Get Involvedin school and community activities. Good grades are important, but college and scholarship committees have many applicants with outstanding G.P.A.’s and test scores. Leadership, involvement, and community service show a student’s potential, diversity, and concern for others.
