Our seventh child, who graduated in June, has a hard time responding when people ask what her plans after high school are. Why? Because they are thinking she is only going to answer in one of two ways (college or career) and she has so many dreams not related to either that it is hard to make it understandable to the outside world. She is full of hopes and dreams and is praying her way through them even now. It is not that she is not prepared for life after high school; it is just that she doesn’t fit the mold of what others (who are not familiar with homeschooled children) think she should be doing next.
