The World According to Leslie

 In April 2019, so over a year ago, we went to visit Liberty University .  This was during the Spring of Chasity's junior year. This is one of the first schools to which she was accepted.  We were able to see the entire campus. It was truly beautiful!

 In August 2019, I started a 2nd Master's degree.

Upon graduation in May 2021, she will be given her high school diploma and her Associate of Arts degree. She was supposed to have two classes online, Drawing I and Chemistry. With all the current craziness, she is taking all of those online.  She wants to major in Art when she goes to a 4-year school, so she is planning to take a few more art classes next semester. I am excited for her. She knows what she wants to do. She has already been accepted to two schools--Liberty and Chowan. We are waiting for a couple more schools to respond. We have a few visits lined up, and she is excited.... I think.  Liberty Acceptance Package Chowan Acceptance Package She was also asked to join the National Society of High School Scholars.
