I am an independent, self-motivated individual. My goals include becoming a teacher and an acknowledged educational writer, as well as playing some role in the improvement of our current environmental and economical state.

I began my writing "career" only one year ago. I had been pursuing it as a mere hobby. By simply "playing" with my writing, I published 49 articles, placed 3rd in my first attempt at a writing contest, and can now find my writing using Google search! I also became the Alternative Education sub-channel steward here at Helium. I really enjoy working with the education channel team. It is great to know that my input counts, and I can have a part in improving the channel.

4 articles a month may be accepteble for a hobby. However, I plan to take my writing to the next level. You can expect to see a constant new flow of articles from my areas of knowledge and experience. Look for articles on homeschooling (unschooling), early education, college preparation, distance learning, sociology, philosophy, environmentalism, and parenting.

My passion is ...

constantly expanding my knowledge bank, and perhaps inspiring others to do the same.

I know too much about ...

My inspiration ...

My Lord, my children, my life and the people who touch it.

Learning disabilities come in all shapes and sizes and affect families of every type. No one is immune, and everyone is susceptible. There are two stories I'd like to share with you; one of an IEP and the public school system, and the other of an ILJ and an understanding mother. If you are reading this you probably have a child suffering through school, and you don't know what you can do to help. Don't fret, because I'm here to tell you that there is hope!
