Decisions

Was homeschooling really a good decision made for us?

For this question,I must say a yes.If it weren't for our homeschooling,I wouldn't even know it existed.It is a new way of experiencing new things,places,and cultures.

If we hadn't chose to homeschool,we wouldn't have bought a laptop for me.And without my laptop,I wouldn't have started watching Naruto.Since Naruto is an anime,from a Japanese culture,I wouldn't have taken interest in it if I didn't start watching it sooner or later.

With my interests only in Japanese culture,my enthusiasm in learning new things increases.Now I have learnt a couple of Japanese katakana and hirigana words.If I hadn't moved out to Malaysia to homeschool,I wouldn't even be here.Thus,I wouldn't have this laptop,what more,I wouldn't even be tapping my foot to this Japanese song I'm listening to right now.

Did I inform you,that before we moved out,my hamster died?My conclusion would be that he didn't want to move out with us. But if we hadn't chose to,he probably wouldn't have died.But then,I wouldn't have experienced the loss of something precious for the first time.

But,I couldn't be any freer.After everything,like chores and studies,I'm still allowed to be playing my laptop.I usually chat on with my friends on Facebook.They're always complaining about how much homework they have,and with the exams coming up,their stack of stress in life just keeps piling up.Here I am,just listening to their complains,without any worry about homework,sometimes helping them with questions that are hard to answer,at times I'm leisurely playing games,I think I truly understand the meaning of gratefulness.Like I said,I couldn't be any freer.

What more,I have quality time with family!Now that is something really important.Some kids complain that they hardly see their parents,some suffer because they don't even have one.Some aren't really close together as a family.

God has given us blessing,sometimes through events that we definitely didn't expect them to come from.Though whatever,we still should be grateful.Even if it was choosing to school in public or to homeschool.Although about the latter,I think it was how we actually learnt about being grateful.Like how I learnt the word 'latter' just from watching Naruto.To be honest,I seriously love my life. :)
