If I could use only one phrase to describe my daughter’s approach to college it would be ”love of learning.” This love was revealed in so many ways, from sitting in the front row of every lecture to sharing new ideas with family and friends. She followed her heart, and her heart led her to knowledge. She tasted, and found it was good.

In our homeschool too, knowledge was the goal, not grades or scores. I am glad her middle and high school years were free from the stress of comparisons and competitions that might have quenched the love of learning. I am glad that she can look back on those years of homeschool with joy.

But did it prepare her adequately for the “real world”? Did her Charlotte Mason education set her up for success in the tough college environment where grades do matter, scores count, and rankings are made?

Apparently it did. Congratulations Anesley on earning your bachelor’s degree magna cum laude. You have my great praise too.
