Homeschool a 23 year old.?

Question

I graduated from high school but want to go back to school and get my diploma. I only have a certificate of completion because i am mildly mentally handicap.

Answer 1

if you graduated from High School you already have your diploma.

Answer 2

I am 55 and I'm still learning.

I am also teaching our 15 year old son.

We are both learning but because I really like learning and want to learn, I learn much more than he does.

Hopefully... someday...he will be at where you are now and really want to learn.

Congratulations.

Answer 3

We (you!) should never stop learning.  Every day gives you the chance to learn.  If you want to get better at math - - then study math.  Do the same for writing and reading.  Write every day and read for 2 to 4 hours every day.  You'll be surprised at how much you can learn by simply applying yourself and reading books.

Many community colleges offer adult education classes -- you can often study at home and go to the college to take the test.  

I applaude you for your desire to learn!

Don't ever worry about a mild mental handicap.  Many people without handicaps don't have the motivation to learn.  

You can do very well for yourself to study, study and study.  

Be sure to get a math book that is at a proper level for you and work through it -- one lesson or more every day.  Write one page every day and ask someone to check it for you.  Read the best books -- classics, historic autobiographies, historic documents, science texts, Bible, etc.....

Answer 4

You bet!  That is an awesome thing to do!  You should feel great.  There are programs out there to help you!  Start with the school you graduated from if you are still in that area.  The counselors should be able to get you some information.  If there is an adult education program around...get in touch with them.  I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done regarding your actual diploma but I'm absolutely sure you can do it!  Good Luck!!!

Maybe these sites will help you.
