Rico,
It can be overwhelming when you begin. Fortunately, as you see with your curriculum choice, things are getting better. The way has been paved. I give tribute to my mother who battled the authorities and news reporters back in the 70's. She is a true pioneer! I honor her courage!
Your daughter is the one that has to make that choice, ultimately. She has to decide how much interaction with other kids that she wants and needs. That is usually the determining factor.
The second thing - you must be organized, have a plan and work the plan. No deviation will be successful. I made a weekly schedule. My children knew what they had to accomplish by Friday. That gave them a week overview. They could work it however they wanted. They just had to have the work done and an X on every subject for that 5 day working period. This has helped them accomplish strides in the workforce.
My brother graduated with a Master's degree, starting out at A&M and finishing at Duke University. His advice - "Stay organized."
When I started out I wanted to give up when I was halfway through it. My husband said, "I just want you to go until May. Give it until then and you can do whatever you want".
When I got over the six month trial period (
) I was fine. I didn't think I could go the long haul, but I made the 15 years and it was well worth it. God was with me every step of the way. He provided me with things that I prayed for. It was an awesome experience. My children have NO regrets! That is what made it worth the most to me!
