After GVS, Alia applied to 14 colleges and was accepted by all 14. She chose Lewis and Clark University, where she majored in fine arts and spent a semester abroad in Italy. Now she works as a sustainability associate at Pacifica Graduate Institute where she has been given the task of “greening” their 2 campuses. Helping Pacifica develop recycling plans, improve energy efficiency and drinking water systems, Alia says “everyday I make decisions that make a difference.”

Several GVS students recently participated in a writing competition put on by YES! Magazine. Here is the entry submitted by Alex, a GVS 9th grader.
A gift. Does everyone have one? Yes. It may be obvious, or not. Some may push it down, or some may discover and develop it. A gift comes in many shapes and forms. It could be the gift to write, to communicate with animals (like the boy in the Blessings Revealed article), to dance, to fix cars. But my gift is none of these. But can’t anyone do these things? You may ask. Yes, I say. I may be able to do these things with time and perseverance, but what is my real, true gift? The gift that I was born with to give to the world, and to myself? It is the thing that I love most. It is acting.

We like to let you know the kind of things our homeschooling families are doing. This time around we have a young K8 homeschool student who is very interested in our natural heritage.
National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy. As part of this mission they have solicited videos that answer the question “How Do You Love Your Favorite Public Land?”
Avalon, a GVS 4th grade homeschool student, narrated a video for Camp Bayou and this video is a finalist in the National Public Lands Day contest. Please check it out and if you like it, sign into YouTube and vote by clicking the thumbs up icon.
