What They Need to Know

So, seeing as we don't have a strict curriculum, as Samantha grows older, we are beginning to see a need to have  a list of things we do want her to know before she leaves the house. They aren't all academic. In fact, most of them are not. Many of them are character building, survival skills, and life management skill-which can also be academic. If she can learn those things, it will be a foundation for her to learn what she needs to learn in order for her to fill her calling from God, whatever that may be. Here is that list. I'm open to suggestions.

Character:
-Know Her Bible In Depth-In Progress

-How to have Discernment-Ongoing (lol)
