Excited to announce that Ben received the opportunity of a lifetime. He was selected to teach ESL in Japan for 3 months. He will be provided with a plane ticket, housing and a salary. We are so thankful to God for this opportunity for him to pursue his passion while working for the Lord.
He will be traveling to and from Japan the next few years for business and pleasure. We are so thankful for the opportunity that homeschooling has provided for us. Bennett has devoted a lot of time and effort into pursuing his passion of learning all things Japanese. He has volunteered locally teaching ESL to Japanese business men for the last three years. His community service has allowed him to establish many networking connections.
This is a journey that I did not imagine our family would travel. By allowing God to lead us all things were made possible. Bennett had a desire to learn a language that opened many doors for him. Allowing him to follow his passions and not my own has been very rewarding and eye opening. Our job as parents is to introduce our children to different things. While giving them the opportunity to find their own way.
From homeschooling to world schooling enjoying the journey.
Congratulations, Ben! What a wonderful conclusion to your homeschooling journey! You two have been such an inspiration to so many as we have watched your journey, growth, and development through the years. You have stayed the course and didn't get caught up in fads and hype and the result is people seeking you out to do great things. I didn't expect anything less, but I am thrilled!
ReplyDeleteI do hope Ben continues to report on his adventures as they unfold - such an inspiration!
This is wonderful opportunity. I know you will keep us posted on his progress. Way to go Ben.
