Aiming for College<br />
We’ve all been asked, “But can they get into college?” The answer is a resounding yes! <strong>Homeschool</strong>ers not only get in, but they are <strong>of</strong>ten highly recruited<br />
and are <strong>of</strong>fered scholarships as well! Come find out how to: choose colleges, make a college visit count, apply for admission and scholarships, demonstrate<br />
your record, get financial aid, and decide on a college. Get filled in on all those mystifying things: ECs, FAFSA, PROFILE, ACT, SAT, AP, CC, and CommonApp.<br />
Melanie Young has served for many years on scholarship committees and has spent the last few years helping her son and others through the<br />
admissions process. Now she’d like to help you!<br />

Healing Wounds in a Family Between Generations<br />
All too many homeschool families struggle along alone and discouraged with the hurt and wounds that come from anger, controlling relationships, rejection,<br />
fear, insecurity, and relational brokenness. That’s our family’s story as well. This session attacks these issues head-on. We share from our experiences,<br />
struggles, and failures how God wants to equip each <strong>of</strong> us to engage and heal the brokenness <strong>of</strong> our lives between generations, which will enable<br />
our children to break free <strong>of</strong> the negative multi-generational patterns <strong>of</strong> belief and behavior that were passed down to us.<br />

Time Management: Getting Done What Truly Matters<br />
Have you every wished there were more hours in your day to get everything on your “TO DO List” completed? God has wisely created the cycle <strong>of</strong> a 24<br />

things that hinder us, and redeem the wasted time in order to fulfill God’s plan for your family. You’ll even get dinner on the table!<br />

Learning from Dad<br />

will encourage fathers by giving them added vision and useful tools. It will address the essentials that fathers need to teach and will provide practical help,<br />
encouragement, and ideas. This session is for fathers only.<br />

A Fate Worse than Death? Public Speaking for the Faint at Heart<br />
What generates more fear than the prospects <strong>of</strong> being trapped in a burning car, walking through a cemetery at night, or discovering a rattlesnake curled up in<br />
your bath tub? Believe it or not, it’s being asked to speak in public! According to The Book <strong>of</strong> Lists, public speaking is much scarier than disease and even<br />
death. But your children don’t have to think this way. As a homeschooling parent, helping your child overcome this common fear is one <strong>of</strong> the most important<br />
educational goals you can achieve. Although you have invested a great deal <strong>of</strong> time teaching your children to think from a biblical perspective, you must<br />
equip them with the ability to communicate the truth. Mary Sayre shares practical advice from her personal experience in this down-to-earth discussion <strong>of</strong><br />
educational options available to your children. Learn how you can painlessly integrate public speaking into your own homeschool curriculum.<br />

Developing the Essayist<br />
What’s the difference between a “report” and an “essay”? How do we help a student move from simply reporting facts to the more sophisticated skill <strong>of</strong> using<br />
facts in order to support an opinion? With several different essay models and a gradual method <strong>of</strong> building the analytical writer, you can feel confident in<br />
training your child to be an excellent essay writer. Come and get the plan right now—you can even start the process at the elementary level!<br />

Getting Them Ready to Learn and to Love it<br />
The early years before children begin formal education is the time to show them that learning is fun and interesting. Elizabeth will present informal reading<br />
and math “lessons” that not only teach, but help transition mom into their first teacher. Learning to seize teaching opportunities and apply wisdom to the<br />
education process will help insure that our little ones will love learning and move easily into formal curriculum.<br />
