Who am I?
I am a Christian.
I am a Wife.
I am a Mother of two.
I am a Home Schooler.
I love my family, those who live with me and those who don’t.
I love life!
I have a pet Cat and a pet Dog.
I love to Sing, Knit and Read.
I am involved in my church, often singing on the praise team.
I volunteer for my Neighbourhood Group and love grass-roots movements for change in politics!
I manage the family finances.
I can sew, don’t like it, but I can.
I can clean the house really good, but I don’t. I settle for less clean, more life.
I am tall, strong, and I look beautiful to my husband.
I love my kids, and they say they love me.
I am a good cook, not fancy, but so long as I don’t use mustard no one complains.
I am Canadian. I am proud to be Canadian.
I was born in Bogra, Bangladesh. I am the daughter of Relief Agency workers.
I came to live in North American when I was 14.
I know what I like, what I don’t like, and I have opinions. I also respect your opinion too, but I may not necessarily agree with you. I might, or I might not tell you.
I am so much more than all of that. Perhaps, you’ll get the chance to find out!

Here is a link to one of my favourite posts regarding the question, Who Am I? I’ve learned a certain way of thinking about myself and I think you might find it interesting too!
I invite you to submit a post to the first Carnival of Canadian Home Educating Bloggers, and to please help you get the word out to other Canadian Home Educating Bloggers. You can read about it here – http://jacquelinesjabberings.blogspot.com/2008/03/carnival-of-canadian-home-educating.html
I’m glad to get to know you. You live in a wonderful country – Canadia. I’m enjoying your blog.
I also enjoy reading your stories. I have four daughters. They were both publicly schooled and home schooled. If you just can’t really decide, do both. I knew that I could teach them the stuff when they were young but I didn’t have resources or the knowledge for the later schooling. However, through the use of computers way back when almost everyone in the room didn’t have one, my two youngest kids entered the public education system knowing how to read and write and do simple mathematics. I have great respect for the people who developed those marvelous rabbits, reading, writing and math. People tended to gather around when we were in public places also. I salute you and your values. Keep up the great work. I also liked Canada every time I went there. Beautiful country both east, west and in between. Have a great day, every day.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
You are beautiful to everyone, my friend…
