The Fresh Perspective...

Is a Degree necessary?

How many of you have been told that you are nothing without some sort of education? A career is important for some, but others might feel like giving 20-30 years to one position is preposterous! Is that what a career even means? The definition of career is quite vast. Starting with, a profession that you learned how to do with specific training over a period of your life, to a combination of jobs held, titles earned, and works accomplished over your lifetime.

These days, less and less folks are sticking to one job for 20 years or more. Some people move around every 4-6 years, changing aspects of their current job or changing companies all together. Somewhere we have connected too much to the word career. We put so much pressure on ourselves to accomplish so many things by a certain time in our lives. Is that even right?

Career or no career, one needs to be able to feel good about oneself. If there’s something in your life that you don’t like, you can change it! It’s never too late to try and be better today than we were yesterday. There’s always something new to learn, even if you’ve been at it for 20 years…

That’s the fresh perspective…

Would you Home School?

It’s no secret that I have a boatload of kids! Ok, four, but that’s still a lot! Before I had kids I was quite opinionated about them. I had it figured out. “When I’m a mom, I’ll do things so much differently,” I said. Now here I am, 10 years in (my oldest is ten) and I realize that parenting is intense! There are so many aspects of parenting that I didn’t account for and even more so, aspects that I LOVED and wanted to uphold desperately!

Firstly, my children have made me realize how terrible we are to the earth and I have drilled it into their little heads about sustainability, littering, waste…. you know…. I never knew in my twenties that that would be something I would have stood for. I was all about their education and somewhere, deep down, I thought I would home school them. Well. No.

I found this PDF from the Government about Home schooling and I thought I should share. Turns out, that I have more faith in our school systems here in Manitoba after all! My children attend École Nöel Ritchot and do their studies in French, another thing I thought I would NEVER do!

Would you home school your child/children? Maybe? If you need more info check out Home schooling in Manitoba. All the best!
