It's so interesting how some of their interests are never outgrown. Fun story.

Sigh.

She looks like such a happy gal.

I agree with Cathy, it's so rare for a teenager to have what she has. Good job to all of you!

Thanks for sharing. I hope that my son will always keep a little bit of himself when he starts school in the fall. He suddenly grew up so fast and I miss making those pirate maps all crinkled with the burnt edges! LOL It seems like only yesterday my boys were little, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful memories of homeschooling them and having them there daily.
Glad you posted one more time.

PROM - good grief! I remember taking pictures of her (and Pete and Meg) when she was only a couple days old!

What a great story! And That book is fascinating as well. I'm betting that de Becker's book Protecting the Gift will be just as interesting for her.

what a good kid! you can tell she'll be the type to grow up love what she does!

every few months, i feel both bitter about the reality and elated with our choice to unschool when we run across a college kid -- yes, a high school grad -- with reading, writing and math deficiencies.

i'm glad it's summer. we have the chance to help make learning fun for our school-going friends whom've lost that feeling already.

Jena! So glad you posted! Great update on Melissa...I'm like Cathy...I'm so thrilled she can still find the excitement of her imagination. How neat to be so passionate about law enforcement! I haven't met too many homeschoolers with that interest, so that was a neat thing to read about today!

I love the teacher who was bummed because she forgot her book. Sounds like she still has it too! The others, not so much.

What you have going on with your daughter is what I hope to gain with my kids through our unschooling life. Just reading this post lets me know I'm on the right track. Thank you!

What a wonderful post. Missa certainly has 'still got it,' and she's lucky to have you to support her in her endeavors :-)

I'm already missing you in the blogosphere...

As I read this post, the thing that touched me is that Melissa's has not lost the child within herself. She can still imagine and pretend herself to be whoever and whatever she wants. That is so beautiful. You can see from your writing that she has a trust in herself that not many teens have. Lucky Melissa!
