Your Child Needs Your Help Navigating the World of Education

About Me

I am passionate about helping people of all ages succeed in their educations. I raised four children and really learned about the educational system over the years, although it changes often. When my oldest was ready to go to college, he asked me what college would be best for him, and I remember feeling very overwhelmed with the decision due to not knowing much about today's colleges. I asked friends and neighbors for advice, and I was very lucky that they were able to help me give him great advice. I know that not all parents know how to answer their children's questions about school, college, and learning in general, so I thought I would make a blog to pass on what I have learned over the years during my children's educations and what I have learned from others. I hope I can help you help your child!
