How to get your Child to Graduate High School Early and Into College for Free

How to get your Child to Graduate High School Early and Into College for Free

You’re probably wondering, what? How? I will show you a few strategies that can help you obtain just that. I will start off with, how they can graduate high school early.

1. For students to take a placement test, and skipping 2-3 grades.
2. My favorite way is through home schooling.

Plan number 1: skip grades.

Students taking a placement test and passing it to the next class is not as hard as many parents think. The problem is that we don’t give our kids the benefit of doubt. All of our kids are geniuses, all we need to do is help them see it, and so they are motivated to excel on their own. Without mommy and daddy always looking behind their shoulders. How I suggest this gets done, is for all the busy people who have to work, they need to for the first 2 -3 years of their child’s education, is sit with them every evening and go over homework and also have the child explain it to the parents. I know you’re probably thinking I don’t have any time for that, with dinner to serve, baths, etc. I am telling you that if you want your child to excel and not worry about nagging them later, then you need to sacrifice some time and be there for them when it counts. Like myself cook the whole weeks meal on Sunday’s and just heat and serve during the week. Take the phone off of the hook and just focus on your child for 1-2 hours. If you have more than one child, have all of them studying at the same time and spend a few minutes with each one. Basically make rounds during that time, so they each get your full attention. Again this will take some training and some pushing on your part, but remember the benefits are for you. If you can get all of your children to get scholarships to College would that alone not be worth it? If you have two to three children, that is saving a whole lot of money from your pocket. If they get in a great school, each can save about $30,000- $50,000 from paying the University. Is that not worth it for your time? What’s sad is that most parents don’t even have that money to help their kids out with College, so everyone gets in debt for school. I am just showing you that if you help them focus on themselves you will save time and money later. It can’t be any easier than that. Let’s just say that you really can’t due it, because of how your life is scheduled right now, what about hiring a tutor for just a few dollars an hour, a young teenager to help your child with what you want. Believe me it will give your child confidence and skills that they didn’t know they had.




Plan number 2: home schooling your children.

You know when they are home schooled, they are above average. Those are the kids who Yale, Stanford and Harvard seek to recruit first. For they are disciplined to learn and teach themselves. You’re probably thinking, “I am too busy, I can’t home school.” That’s what I was saying; I used to be a corporate mom and enjoyed it too. After I realized that no one cared as much about my kid’s education as me, I changed my lifestyle to make it happen. However, I can hear some of you saying right now, “but I can’t do it, because of my responsibilities.” I understand, and will not push you do it my way, but for all of those moms who are at home, they can home school. Imagine spending about 3 hours a day with your child to learn and the rest of the time, they teach themselves. They have to read books, do projects, explore. Imagine if you had a curriculum that helped them graduate High School by the age of 14. Which College would not want them? If they are that smart, you will have schools fighting for them. At that age I personally recommend a University close to home, so the parents can drop and pick them up.

There are many systems set up to that does just that. For more information email me

Imagine raising 2, 3, 4 great kids. Who are smart, talented, well-educated and loved. What can those kids do for us? Anything. The problem with society nowadays is we all want to do everything and be great at it. We simply can’t do everything as humans, something will suffer. That’s just how it is. Usually what suffer are our families. Be it our marriage, or our kids. We need to refocus and think about our lives, if we were to be alive 15 years from now, what is most important to us? Is it our careers, being a CEO of a company? Is it being the best lawyer? Or is it raising super stars and working part time with it? I am not saying ladies don’t have careers, all I am saying is that we need to focus on our families too. Maybe the first 15 years teaching our kids manners, love, respect, haddiths of the Prophet (PBUH). Most importantly Quran. Every morning wake them up to pray and read Quran before they leave the house. Instead of watching cartoons, TV, or doing homework which should have been done already. I’m saying it is up to the mom’s how their children turn out to be. They should be our first priority every moment. And then everything else. For once we lose them, we lose them forever. We need to focus on our marriages again. We need to build families and not just careers. Allah (SWT) has put us on earth to test us. One of the tests is motherhood. Are we really doing what we should be doing, or are we westernized? Want what the western women want? Be honest, think about my questions. I personally see more and more Muslim Women being more westernized than Islamic. I am not saying we shouldn’t be modernized, just not westernized. Remember who we are. Remember that our families are our first priorities and should always be. If we don’t take care of our kids, with love, knowledge and patience, why will they want to take care of us as we age? Think about it. Think deeply. I will let you read this story to help better understand my point:

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.

But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.


I will leave you with this; your child can become anything, but needs your support with it. Your child needs your love, compassion and patience to teach him or her. Be the best parent you can be, so that you don’t have regrets later!
