CMP Review 2025-07-23

“Mom, what’s a midterm?” my son asked as I drove him to class.

“It’s an exam in the middle of the semester testing on what’s been learned up until that point. Why do you ask?”

“Because my professor said we’re having one today,” came his reply.

This is just one of many such instances in my children’s transition from homeschool to college.

While their classmates watched the professor through their computer screen in class and took voluminous notes, mine silently narrated lectures to themselves between classes. While others had late night cram sessions before tests, mine slept soundly.

It wasn’t that they never studied—there were physics equations to be learned and their sloyd-training ensured quite a few do-overs in shop class.

This venture of education was a venture of faith. And now I get to see the fruit.
