Day 624 of 1000
There are plenty of hard classes in Kelly’s Statistics program at NCSU, but everyone believes Mathematical Statistics II is probably the hardest. Kelly has been hammering away at this class since the beginning of the year and did her final in the course on Tuesday. She feels great about her understanding of the material, but tests are tests so she is sitting on pins and needles while she waits for the results. She put the following image of her study notes up on Facebook. I had to write about them here. Someone on Facebook actually said this was frameable artwork. I agree! I think this might be a great thing to have on the wall in my office.
Interesting how our kids “refrigerator art” changes over time! Way to go, Kelly!
I had to laugh at that comment Gene. That is EXACTLY right. A lot of posts on this blog are nothing more than sticking my kids stuff on the refrigerator with a magnet!
What is the count up to 1000? Do your children live at home and attend college full time?
Did you homeschool from the beginning? I homeschool my 7 & 9 yr old. I enjoy reading about how you educated your kids.
Thanks,
Karen
Hello Karen! Thanks for the good questions. We are really glad you read our blog.
The years we homeschooled our kids: We homeschooled Kelly one year in the first grade, then sent her to a traditional school in grades 2-4. We taught Christian to read at age four, then sent him to traditional school in grades K-2. From then on we homeschooled the both of them until they went to college, Christian at age 14 and Kelly at age 16.
The kids currently live at home and plan to stay with us through there Bachelors degrees. Christian will finish at age 18 and Kelly will finish at age 20. Both of them plan to go to graduate school.
As for the 1000 day count, we were going through a very rough times when things were going well at school and work, but were difficult in terms of family and relationships. At the time we realized that in almost exactly 1000 days, when the kids graduated from college, everything would change, so we started counting the days. It was amazing in that things have gotten incrementally better since we started the count. We count it to the grace of God.
