Passion
| Passion is defined as an intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction. The reason I am concerned with the idea of passion today is because I was reading The Choice by Nicholas Sparks and the characters were discussing how a great teacher is someone who is passionate about their subject. I must say that my homeschool is lacking fun and passion. I have become too determined and routine oriented. I don't want learning to be boring for my kids. I feel that I am still in the learning stages of being a good homeschool mom. My goal is to teach my kids how to be passionate about learning. But, first I must work on making it fun and express some passion for it myself instead of making learning mundane. First, I must veer away from my ideas of what learning is. Homeschooling and traditional schooling are two different things. Now, I decided that home school was better and now is the time to start acting like I really believe that instead of modelling traditional education at home. I am still learning what that will look like. But, I do know that homeschooling means that the kids and I get to figure it out together, one step at a time. |
