School Thoughts

So my youngest son Dylan, 21, who has Dysgraphia (a learning disability) sent this to me which really hits home with our family.  Dylan struggled in traditional school since 2nd grade.  Finally, by 4th grade we had an excellent teacher that recognized he was slipping too far behind through the traditional schooling.  It was at this point that as a family we decided to pull him from traditional schooling and homeschool through Mountain Valley Academy.  We were able to teach him a different way of learning.  Many believed he would not graduate highschool however we are proud to say he did and is attending San Marcos State University majoring in Human Development. He plans on continuing on to his Master in Marriage & Family Therapy.  He still faces many challenges in the traditional university system but continues to triumph and is a strong advocate in educating professors and people about dysgraphia and alternative ways of learning.  He is an amazing young man who we are very proud of and excited to see all that he has and will accomplish!!
