Next year is the year my oldest daughter will begin highschool/homeschool. I’m super nervous about the whole thing. I really appreciate these pages so much! I’m sure by graduation I will feel like it’s old hat, but right now all I do is worry that I won’t end up doing anything right. These helpful pages give me a lot of confidence. So thank you!
