I was listening to the NPR station All Things Considered the other day when I heard this homeschool story. I thought it was a very different, unique homeschooling story and very inspiring to say the least. I would have to say it is definetly worth sharing. I just love homeschool success stories! They inspire me and encourage me. I’m sure I’m not the only homeschooling mom who could use a little encouragement now and then.
Head on over to the NPR website and have a listen. You can listen to this homeschoolers success story or read the transcript homeschooling student recieves scholarship to harvard.
In a nutshell the cohost Michael Norris on NPR All Things Considered conducted a very informative interview with Kerry Anderson who was homeschooled in her moms big rig right there in the cab. She continued on to a community college, then was recruited into Harvard.
Kerry has recently graduated from Harvard and is currently studying for the LSAT then headed to law school.
This is the 2nd success story this week about homeschoolers going to Harvard that I have posted.
I’m sure this homeschooler had goals that had to be reached. Congrats to her for her accomplishments!
I am beginning to think Harvard likes homeschooled graduates. What do you think?
What to read next?? How about Goals for Kids

I am loving this success stories. It's great to know that homeschooling can happen anyway. A big rig is definitely not a place I would have ever thought to homeschool a child but I guess you do what you can.

OMG, I love this! It is encouraging to all homeschooling parents! It even makes me want to yank my kid out of public school and home school him! Do you know anything about the internet public school for elementary school kids?

Hi Jessica,
Not familiar with internet public school options.
I do know that homeschoolers take classes on the internet. Check out currclick.com and internet4classrooms.com. Hope that helps
