My Reality in 2013

I’ve changed since 2013, and so has my education, relationships, and more. I decided to post about what’s different in my life now, and about what has been happening lately.

How My Homeschool is Now

My mom and dad got a big book with lined paper and wrote some math problems and other things. Right now I’m starting long division. My mom and dad want me to do Piano Marvel – a program that teaches you the piano every day – so I get good at piano. Here is a picture of my homeschool book. I got a green book and Marie got a red one.

What I like to do

I am not so interested in drawing anymore. I found what I really like is singing, writing and reading. I do still really really enjoy drawing but I am getting interested in other things. I wrote a book with a great lesson called the “Ugly Lady.” I’m making Illustrations for it too.

Parties

We have been having lots of parties lately. Yesterday my dad did a piano concert. 50 or more people came to see the concert! I guess we have a lot of friends. 🙂 All the kids were downstairs watching a movie, while the adults watched Dad. My best friend Naomi came to the concert. We haven’t seen each other for a while, so I was really happy to see her again.

Things I’ve Made

I’ve designed my own clothes that the tailor might make for me! The people are really cute that I made to be models. 🙂 Here is a picture.

The Ugly Lady

There was once an old lady who often got laughed at because she was so ugly. She shared what she had with the neighborhood, even though she had very little. All her teeth fell out except her two front teeth. Her dress was made of old kitchen rags, and she had a bald spot right on top of her head. But she didn’t care! All she cared about was her kindness. One day she decided to help the workers pave the road. After the old lady was done, the workers asked the old lady if she would take some money for being so thoughtful. The old lady refused and said, “I don’t take money but I do take love.”? The next day, the old lady woke up on her park bench and decided to eat breakfast. She picked some berries off the bush and saved some for the neighborhood. She sat back down on her bench and then thought, why am I in bad shape when everybody else is in good shape? She thought for quite some time. Then a boy came and sat by her side. They chatted for a while until the old lady asked, “Why am I in bad shape when everybody else is in good shape?” The little boy paused and then said, “I think it is because you take too much care of others, but not of yourself.” The little boy got off the bench and said goodbye to the old lady. Six weeks after that, she decided to try it. She picked up a toothbrush and brushed her wobbly tooth. She never used a toothbrush before. The ugly lady brushed and brushed until a bright light went into her mouth. Her teeth were not wobbly anymore, and all her teeth were back! Then she saw a fairy appear out of the bushes. I made your teeth appear. I am the tooth fairy! You brushed your teeth for the first time! Make sure to do the other parts of your hygiene and live a healthy life. Then, the fairy and the old lady and most of the other people lived a happy life.

Hope you liked this post! Love you all!!!

About My Homeschool

Part 1. About Me

I am a girl that is nine years old. I homeschool by searching things on the internet, and I also learn with my mom. I go on learning trips all the time and learn about animals, plants, earth, and not math. I do math in my house. I watch educational video’s about science that is called, “Through the Worm Hole.”

Part 2: Travel with Homeschool

I didn’t tell you about my travels yet, did I? So, I first started in Utah, a dry, dry desert and did preschool. I loved it at the time but then I got a little bored and traveled with my family to PANAMA! I loved it there! Except, the fake police. The police pull you over for nothing and tell you to give them your money. Then we went to COSTA RICA, where the homeschooling began! So, we started with my mom teaching me all sorts of stuff! And this is when I was six, by the way. So I learned my times tables, science, math, art, and animals almost every day for three hours! Yes? No! It’s not impossible! I didn’t rush for my home school. So, I went to way more places than that! But I will just tell you about being here.

Part 3: Homeschooling in Bali

So we are thinking of making this place our home base for ever! But for now only a year. I love the homeschool here that I do because here, I can look up whatever I want and then I learn about it! It’s awesome! My mom and dad teach me too. I also learn in a program named Piano Marvel! It’s a program to learn piano. You can download it online. Try it out! IF YOU HAVE A DIGITAL PIANO!!!!!!! I also learn with my art teacher, she is very nice but sometimes I get frustrated because of the art I do, but at the end it turns out beautiful! I have an Indonesian teacher who teaches us Bahasa Indonesia! I do get bored sometimes.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!
