Grown Up Upportunity

This is my oldest (14) at his summer internship. That big white piece of equipment he's looking into is a $60,000. microscope. The two computers next to him are linked to it. He has to photograph, measure length, compute surface area, and compile the data with the computers. His description of what's under the microscope is here, at his Entomologist blog.

Homeschoolers are blessed with many unique opportunities!

What an awesome experience for your son. Whenever I see or hear of things like this I think of how I spent my summers, complaining of boredom, sleeping in late, fighting with my sister... This is so much more productive, besides, I bet he is having a blast! (And learning valuable lessons in work ethics.)

Dawn's Favorite Post

I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, the scenery and invigorating climate. But most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who almost beggared themselves for others.

If the spirit of liberty should vanish from the rest of the Union, and our institutions should languish, it all could be restored by the generous store held by the people in this brave little State of Vermont.
