My daughter was distraught. She'd put in an application to a university she was hoping to attend. She really had her hopes up about getting into this institution. But the university had contacted her with some bad news. There was apparently a problem due to her status as a homeschooler.

For Catholic homeschoolers who are graduating their last child and entering "homeschool retirement", this will be their final spring of homeschooling. A question I'm hearing more and more lately is, "I'm done homeschooling. Now, what do I do?" It's a question I can relate to as my own nest is nearly empty.
