 Karen Pennebaker's offering this week in our Faces
of Home Education series shows her granddaughter Linda who is involved in an Irish Dancing
group. This shows how homeschoolers and their frineds come together in social groups that
help each of us to grow in a community.Karen
says:
"There is a 4 H club in WV that is dedicated to
learning Irish Dancing. All but 2 of the members are homeschooled. My 2 grand
daughters, who are homeschooled, saw the group dance at the WV State Folk Festival and are
joining this group. Here is a picture of the group with audience participation.
Linda, who will be 10 in August, is the girl in the pink blouse and denim skirt.
Next year, she and her sister plan to perform with the group."
Faces of Home Education Profile
Igniting a Career
by Linda Dobson
 My son, Chuck, was 14 years-old
when our neighbor and friend started an Explorer Scout Post with the local volunteer fire
department where he was a member. What I didn't realize right away was how seeds that
would blossom into a career were being planted at the same time. I sometimes wonder what
he would be doing today if homeschooling hadn't allowed him the time to pursue his
interest so thoroughly. Then I hear a fire call. I know he is serving his community,
an important lesson from his homeschooling days, and making a living doing what he loves.
