If you're a homeschooling mom, you're already a student... am I right? lol Ever notice how much you learn just in playing the role of teacher? Learning has always been my favorite part of teaching my children. In fact, my son and I have been reading together at night and I am as intrigued by what we're studying as he is... maybe even more so. I'll be sharing this read with you in a future post btw!
Speaking of learning... how often do you toy with the idea of going back to school? Taking real classes from home (just for you)... with the goal of obtaining a real degree? A degree you could put to use in or outside the home, once your days of homeschooling are completed? Maybe you need a degree to work from home now... even before your kids are grown. Either way, I think many of us have considered going back to school. I certainly have, but the expense has always kept me from going through with it.
Continuing your own education not only makes you a wonderful role model for your children, it gives you an increased sense of accomplishment, self-worth and identity. Not that being mom isn't the best identity we can ask for, but it really is ok if you want to seek out some ambitions for yourself that in turn will benefit your families future. I guess I'm a firm believer in having it all! lol
If you're looking to obtain an Online degree, but you've been scared off by the price (like yours truly)... maybe this will help. I just found Ashworth which strives to be as much as half the cost as a typical online college. Tuition even covers all your books and materials. You can pay as you go... with zero interest financing and could even graduate without any debt! Can I just tell you that this is definitely speaking to me as I just paid off my student loans in April? It took me 13 years to pay off my unused BA in Psychology and the thought of going back to school hasn't been one I wanted to seriously entertain (despite my interest) because I didn't want the debt!
Ashworth offers web design, which is what I'd really like to do. The courses are flexible too, meaning I can study online when it's convenient for me... not the rigid schedule I had when I was a university student acquiring thousands of dollars in debt! Ashworth appears to be family friendly in every aspect imaginable... so this means Wendy needs to read more about their programs, then schedule a talk with her husband! lol
What about you? Have you ever taken online courses? Have you considered it? What do you think about what Ashworth has to offer?
