		<description><![CDATA[A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski.
Hi everyone. I hope you guys had an awesome holiday season. Over the holidays I went with my youth group to IHOP in Kansas City Missouri and it was amazing. The topic was &#8216;Jesus our magnificent obsession&#8217;. I was mulling over some ideas for a topic for the devotion this month and one thing that stood out was when a speaker at IHOP was telling about how she was told to tithe 10% of her time to God. Well that story has stayed with me and I think that&#8217;s what this month&#8217;s devotional will be about. I&#8217;m writing this last minute because my computer cord and battery decided to die. So if this seems a bit more scattered than usual I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;ve been busy and with only two computers in the house working and five people its been kinda hard. With my cord not ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
If you’re a sports fan – and even if you’re not! – you’ve probably heard of football quarterback Tim Tebow. He is one of the biggest names in football these days. “Tebowmania” swept the country after Tebow led the Denver Broncos on five fourth-quarter comebacks and four overtime victories in this season’s NFL playoffs. Tebow’s game-winning overtime pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 8 became the most-tweeted moment in sports history. Tebow even spawned a new verb, “Tebowing” – the practice of genuflecting on one knee, elbow perched on the other, fist to forehead in prayerful reflection – and everyone from schoolchildren to professional skier Lindsey Vonn were soon doing it.
Besides being America’s favorite Christian pro athlete, Tebow is a homeschool graduate. Tim grew up in a close but competitive family and athletics were always a big part of his life. At five years old, he was begging to play ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pensacola Christian College (PCC) is a private unaccredited fundamentalist Independent Baptist college founded in 1974 by Dr. Arlin and Rebekah Horton. The Hortons moved to Pensacola, Florida in 1952 to found a Christian grade school. That school, Pensacola Christian School, opened in 1954. In 1974, the Hortons opened Pensacola Christian College to further their vision of “Education from a Christian Perspective.” Pensacola Theological Seminary, an extension of PCC&#8217;s graduate school, was founded in 1998.
The mission of PCC is to provide a distinctively traditional Christian liberal arts education that develops students intellectually, spiritually, morally, culturally, and socially. Their in-house publisher, A Beka Book (named after “Beka” Horton), provides a K-12 curriculum that is used by many Christian schools and homeschooling families. It has become one of the largest Christian textbook publishers in the world.
PCC is also the home of A Beka Academy, an accredited virtual distance-learning program for kindergarten through grade 12. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Psychiatrists are medical doctors; psychologists are not. The suffix &#8220;-iatry&#8221; means &#8220;medical treatment,&#8221; and &#8220;-logy&#8221; means &#8220;science&#8221; or &#8220;theory.&#8221; So psychiatry is the medical treatment of the psyche, while psychology is the science of the psyche. (Psyche is an ancient Greek term for the totality of the human mind, both conscious and unconscious.)
Psychologists are scientists trained in human behavior. They try to understand and explain why people act the way they do. They study individuals, societies and cultures, and sometimes even animals such as mice and monkeys. They conduct research at colleges and private research centers to test their ideas about how people’s emotions, feelings and beliefs influence their actions, and they publish their findings in journals. They may obtain data from laboratory experiments, interviews, surveys, recordings and observations.
Psychologists work at many different places such as schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies. Psychologists usually specialize in a field such as ...]]></description>

There are several things you’ll need to do to help your teens prepare for the tough road that lies ahead when they take on the responsibilities of driving.  While you might want to hide your head under the covers until they exit their teenage years and magically turn into adults (you wish!), the truth is that adolescence is the most important time to connect with your kids and give them the knowledge and skills they’ll need to make it in the real world.  Unfortunately, that includes driving.  So here are just a few ways you can prep your teens for safe driving before they even apply for a license.

Talk turkey.  Safely operating a moving vehicle starts with understanding the dangers involved, so you need to begin with a conversation about the many responsibilities that come with owning and operating a car.  Of course, this could easily turn into an eye-glazing ...]]></description>

Your Fashion Signature&#8230;  And When You Should Sign 
By MaryssaJoy
“When will my reflection show who I am inside?”                                                                                                  
Style vs. Fashion
Fashion fades but style is timeless. Jackie Kennedy set fashions with her style. Although those trends are out of fashion they are still stylish.
What is style?
“The truly stylish man knows, understands, and respects the rules, yet knowingly defies and breaks them, bends them and interprets them as he pleases.” (Effortless Gent)
I love this quote. I believe one needs to get to a place of understanding about what looks good and the first step is to dress in a normal way and good way. I think a mistake often made is when someone is still in unflattering jeans and clunky shoes but have a new cutting edge trendy top on. Perhaps this top would look great in the future when you have the right basics to go with it. On ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Ronald E. Johnson, C.Ph.D.
For many years, I have practiced the habit of challenging teenagers with the question, “What is your big dream?” Most teenagers momentarily look a bit startled, then respond with a definite statement. Others will be perplexed and answer, “I am not sure; I really do not know.”  For those youth, I ask another question, “If you knew that you could not fail at a particular career, what would you want to try?” Then, their eyes usually light up as they blurt out a dream that apparently has been simmering just below the surface. The light in their eyes gradually fades as their minds recall awkward and often hurtful memories that seem to have killed the dream.
The difference between the two types of teenagers is usually the result of parental or mentor training. Wise parents and mentors realize that “dream building” is a vital component of life. ...]]></description>

In the NFL (National Football League) there are two conferences, eight divisions, with four teams in each division. Each year the teams with the best win-lost-tied record for the season those teams make it to the Playoffs. There is also a wild card. Which is when two wild card qualifiers from each conference (the non-division champions with the conference’s next best winning percentages, which are the seeded 5 and 6.  There are four rounds in the playoffs, week 1 is Wild Card Week, week 2 is Divisional Week, week 3 is the Conference Championships week, and week 4 is the Super Bowl. Also in the playoffs the overtime rules are a little different than in the regular season. In overtime in the playoffs to win before sudden death a team has to score a touchdown or a safety at any point in overtime, or an unanswered field ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bookshelf of a (Maybe) Teen Author, by Emily Russell
Drama is required reading.
When four women in the same yoga class put their heads together, the result is a group of four girls who would rather be anywhere but discussing Little Women with each other and their mothers. Throw in a typical exclusive clique, a love poem read aloud, and an unusual hockey try-out, and these girls are in for a very abnormal school year.
The story shifts between the points of view of each daughter in the club. There&#8217;s Emma, whose mother started the club and whose hand-me-downs are a point of constant trauma. There&#8217;s Megan, the Asian-American with an environmentally crazy mom and a secret passion for fashion. There&#8217;s Cassidy, the eyesore who wishes she were a boy and has never been the same since losing both her dad and her chance at the hockey team. And then there&#8217;s Jess, the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is a companion series to the anime series Full Metal Panic!
Recall how I said that FMP! was funny because Sousuke was so totally socially inept, and found a terrorist threat in everything?
Fumoffu turns that up to 11.
Whether it’s blowing up a suspicious love letter in a shoe locker, booby trapping boxes of bread rolls, or stopping trouble in a bear suit, Sousuke always brings lots of fun to everyone’s day.
Kaname is still unamused.
A couple new characters were introduced, Issei Tsubaki, the leader of the karate club, and Atsunobu Hayashimizu, president of the student council. I really like the President, because he considers Sousuke’s actions to be a reasonable response to the given situations.
If you’re looking for the action of the original, you’re going to be disappointed. But if you’re looking for lulz, Fumoffu is for you.

		<description><![CDATA[A Game Review by Andrew
Track Mania 2 Canyons is the 10th installment in one of the few PC racing titles. As with previous games in the series it focuses on precise vehicular handling and death defying stunts, instead of the spectacular crashes and extreme realism that seem to be the norm with other modern racing games.
As has been tradition with Track Mania games in the past reality isn&#8217;t the goal, instead it is thoroughly focused on sanity deifying aerobatics and constant personal improvement. Most tracks have at least one large jump or wall running section, and believe me when I say that driving up a wall and jumping several hundred feet while driving at four hundred plus mph is as much fun as it sounds.
Canyons is excellent at reminding you when you have done well, instead of rubbing your nose in the fact that you failed for the twentieth time in a row. It ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An Aspect of Conflict
It was a dark and stormy night when she fled to the wood,
Her golden hair covered by a long dark hood.
Under cover of night, she ran, she fled,
To get away from that scene, still stuck in her head.
In the morning she was missed, still needed at home;
For not the first time she was very much alone.
Next day she started back, still filled with dread;
She remembered those words that in anger had been said.
Yet she straightened her shoulders, pushed it out of her mind.
For the very first time she resolved to be kind.
She pulled off that long, dark hood
And left it in that stormy wood.
Where many a time she had been,
She would never be needing it again.
-by Alexandra, age 13

Resplendent Hope.

A sharp hiss, a cold draft, and Capt. Martin Webber awoke confused. With condensation obscuring the view port, hot fear griped the combat hardened captain. ...]]></description>

What is living your life for Christ really about? This is a question that frequently comes to mind for me. An inquiry that I know most likely have more than one answer. But after asking for counsel from God and a few of my spiritual leaders I found out that living a Christ led life is ALL about the Heart.
The Bible says in Proverbs 4:23 &#8220;Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.&#8221; (NLT) and in Proverbs 7:25 &#8220;Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.&#8221; As you probably noticed the heart is very important. We are told to not only guard it but to also let it not turn aside. The Bible also says in Luke 6:45: &#8220;The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your  neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better person.&#8221; ~Benjamin  Franklin
The new year is an excellent time to reflect and make resolutions. A resolution is a serious vow to do something better or to accomplish a  goal by taking a firm course of action. If this year is really going  to be any different, it means that you have to actually do something, not just make empty promises or wishful thinking.
Do   you wish you were a better writer? Well, how about making a New Year&#8217;s   resolution to write more! Send your stories, poems, articles, reviews, etc. to mail@homeschoolingteen.com and we will publish them! Below are a couple of articles to inspire  you.
Writing Can Be Fun!
I  am a homeschooling Mom that is always on the hunt for exciting ...]]></description>

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”  ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
Hi there, all home-schooling teens! My name is Catherine Munoz. I am a homeschooler from Monrovia, California, USA. I am in the 12th grade. This is my eighth column for the “Homeschooling Teen e-zine”, and I am looking forward to sharing more with you all in the future.
In December, I held a toy drive, as part of my high school senior project. I am currently volunteering at the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, California, USA. It is conveniently located just down the street, approximately eight minutes, from where I live. The toy drive was not sponsored or coordinated by the City of Hope, but the toys which were collected went directly to their pediatric ward. Usually, around this time of year, the City of Hope receives an abundance of donated ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A number of reputable liberal arts colleges either de-emphasize the use of grades or do not issue any grades at all. They often use narrative evaluations as an alternative measurement system. In most cases, the rationale is that grades do not provide a clear picture of academic aptitude or the potential for success – and that the goal of a liberal education should be learning, not achieving the highest score. These colleges range from private to public, conservative to progressive, and Christian to secular, but they share a common educational philosophy in that they don’t follow a standard letter or number grading format.
Alverno College (Milwaukee, WI) is a private Roman Catholic college with a student-centered approach to education, relying on lengthy and highly personalized performance assessment systems that provide feedback to students based on eight areas of development: communication, analysis, problem solving, valuing, social interaction, developing a global perspective, effective ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grades are standardized measurements indicating the quality of a student’s work based on varying levels of comprehension within a subject area. Grades can be assigned in letters (A, B, C, D, F), in percentages (0%-100%), as a numerical range (1.0-4.0), or as descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement).
To arrive at a final grade, teachers often use a points-based system for evaluating student work, in which each question in every assignment is assigned a certain number of points. A simple homework question is usually worth one point while a lengthy project, such as an essay, is worth many more points. The final grade for the course is calculated as a percentage of points earned out of points possible.
The points for a large project, in turn, may be further divided into smaller areas of evaluation; for example: 10 points for writing the correct length of an essay, 5 points for a well-written ...]]></description>
