Maybe you are a fresh high school graduate who cannot attend college due to high tuition costs and needs a career with quick turnaround, as a placeholder until you are ready for a 4-year college degree. Maybe you are an adult working 8-5 workdays, and still not meeting your financial needs.
I am a member of a multi-generational family. We currently range in age from toddler to 92 years young. We each have unique needs and gifts, and we try to help each other whenever we can, inshaAllah, God willing.
Do you remember when you became a parent for the first time? Chances are that you look back on that period with nostalgia despite any uncertainties you faced.
First a disclosure. We are a huge soccer family. We have all played, coached, refereed, and even run a local Muslim youth soccer league. So, it will surprise no one that this homeschooling family used the biggest soccer tournament on the world stage for a teachable moment.
Some of my daughters’ happiest memories come from the extra-curricular clubs they participated in during their pre-teen years. One daughter took part in a Muslim book club, and the other in a secular writing club. What exactly do clubs like this entail? What are their benefits?
