Career Paths

Triangle Homeschoolers

This is the Place Where People are Excellent to Each Other

career pathKids are asked all the time, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, but are rarely given much hands-on experience or opportunities to see what their options are.

We’ve established ‘Career Path’ field trips to help expose our kids to a wide variety of careers in diverse fields. Generally, these field trips consist of  a talk by the guest speaker about their decision-making process, likes and aptitudes, schooling, and specialized schooling (if applicable), and about their jobs (what they do). The students are allowed to ask questions, and get more information about the industry. After the discussion session, the students usually tour the facility.

Some of the areas we’ve covered include the arts (tattoo artist); medical field (dentist, dental hygienist, chiropractor), sciences (STEM careers with Space Center Houston) and animal care (veterinarian). We’ll be continuing to offer career path field trips during the 2014-2015 school year in the medical field (nursing – RN and LVN), science (botanist and engineering with Lamar University) and talking to a museum curator.

We are always on the lookout for interesting careers in our area. If you would like to talk to our students about your career, please contact us.

 

It is my pleasure to introduce to you the final graduating class from Triangle Homeschoolers! Congratulations to Camrynn, Jay, Layla and James, class of 2021!

When I started this group in 2004, I had no idea where the journey would take me; how many friends I would make along the way, how much I would learn... It's been an amazing ride, and I am so grateful to have had all of you along the way to offer your support and guidance, both to me as a mom and teacher, and to my kids as they navigated the academic and social sphere. 

The last few years have been really difficult for a lot of us, between Hurricane Harvey and Covid/quarantine.... but we've persevered, and come out on the other side (mostly) glowing! It's been my pleasure to have been a part of your homeschool journey, and I am so grateful that you all have made this group the amazing, welcoming place it has been. My youngest has graduated, and it is with a grateful heart that I offer my most sincere thanks to each of you for being part of his journey, and for allowing us to be part of yours. 

As I have come to the end of my journey as a homeschooling mom, I will no longer be facilitating this group. Both of the Triangle Homeschoolers main discussion groups on Facebook, the Triangle Homeschoolers website, and all of the co-op groups have now been archived and/or updated to reflect that this group is no longer active. The main Triangle Homeschoolers fan page will remain active, but has been disabled for comments and messaging. 

If you're continuing to homeschool in this area, there are a couple of options for local groups that are inclusive and/or secular: the newly formed Secular Homeschoolers of Southeast Texas, which was started by a group of Triangle Homeschoolers' families to continue a secular and inclusive homeschooling support and activities group in this area, and the L.I.F.E. Homeschool Group, which is inclusive but not strictly secular.

Thank you for being part of this group over the years, and best wishes as you move forward! ❤ 
Congratulations, Class of 2021!!
