Chat w/Sonlight: Bobby Norwood, 2016 Scholarship Winner
#sonlight #scholarshipwinner #successstory #homeschoolwin
Every year, Sonlight receives applications for the Sonlight Scholarships. We post bios of the winners and their dreams and aspirations for their future. Have you ever wondered what happens to them after college? Join us as we talk to Robert Norwood, the 2016 Scholarship winner.
QUOTE:
"One of my strongest reasons for wanting to join the military is my desire to serve. The military is a profession where I can be certain that every day is dedicated to service. In addition to serving the country, I also will be serving those around me. An officer in the military is responsible for many aspects of his subordinates' lives. Jesus commanded Christians to love one another and care for one another (Matthew 22:39, 25:40). Serving as an officer allows me to fulfill those commands by using the gifts I have been given." ~ Bobby Norwood, 2016

#sonlight #emptynest #homeschoolmom #demmelearning #exitstrategy
Join Gretchen Roe from Demme Learning and Johna as they discuss what is ahead when we are faced with life after school as a mom. Life after your kids finish school can be an exciting and challenging time. It marks a significant milestone in your life as a parent, as your children are now adults and ready to take on the world on their own. It can also be a time of mixed emotions, as you may feel proud of your children's accomplishments but also sad that they are leaving home. How do you navigate these emotions and move forward gracefully into your new phase of life?
