Katie has been looking at some aesthetics programs over the past nine months to a year. Our original plan had been dual enrollment, but after sitting on a waiting list since last May for the most economical school, we toured another school in mid-December.
She loved it. However, they did not allow dual enrollment. You had to present a diploma or GED. I reached out to our homeschool umbrella to ask about blocking out just the second semester English credit (the only thing she needs to graduate) in the first two months of the year and graduating early. I also noted we had completed a full book of Lightening Literature in the fall term, averaging a couple hours a day with all the readings, comprehension questions, and papers she wrote.
I got back an email that said, in short, “Congratulations to you both, input her grade as a full credit (their rules on credits are completing a textbook or a certain number of hours—our fall accomplished not just one, but both of those), she can graduate now.”
This news came on the last day of our planned semester with one (history) final to go and a packed day at work for her. I told her she had the option to do whichever she wants—graduate in May with her friends or wrap it up now. In a few hours, she decided surprise graduation it is.
Cap and gown are here. Party planning has commenced.
Surprise and Congratulations, Katie!
You did it!
