...to BYU graduate may have found draft of U.S. Constitution

When reading this article from today's headlines, it was interesting what feelings came out of me within the its 21 paragraphs. The excitement of finding a document so integrally part of our country's history would be overwhelming, but also, the stress of it being unimportant and not what Toler thought it was would be tiresome. Still, if whatever it proves to be, she has something to look forward to, which almost makes most things worth the distress.

Another thing, perhaps not as significant to those which it isn't as close to, but the fact that her love of history and particularly the history of our forefathers came from learning about it as a home-schooled teen is really neat. I was home-schooled from the fourth to tenth grade, and it was a great experience for me, but is something that many people look down on. They assume that because I didn't go to public school that I am somehow not up to par, or just generally expect less of me, when that is not the case at all. It is nice to see someone who came from a background of home-schooling making headlines and attributing part of her success to this alternative method of education.

Ideally, this story would end up happy, with her proving the document legitimate. However it ends though, I hope that mothers and children involved with home-schooling with come out with a better reputation because of it.

Now if only a great "people person" would emerge out of its realm and attribute their social success to it, the home-schooling community could be seen as well-rounded, too.
