As everyone knows, I home-schooled Gina from second grade on. She was struggling and catching every disease that came along. She was behind in her class.

Within a year of our home-schooling she had caught up and was a year ahead when she tested at the end of third grade.

She re-joined her class for the second half of what would be her senior year and received a regular high-school diploma.

She opted not to start college right away and started volunteering at the school where her mother teaches.

The school soon saw her potential and hired her as an aide in their special education department. She makes almost as much money as her mother who has six years of college behind her.

It makes me a proud grandma!
