20+ Credits Needed for Graduation
1w ago00:15:08Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: 20+ Credits Needed for Graduation. 20+ Credits Needed for Graduation Lots of homeschooling parents feel intimidated by transcripts. They worry if they will include the correct courses and credits for a successful launch for their homeschool high schoolers into the next phase of life. That’s why I (7Sister Vicki) am excited to talk about homeschool transcripts! I know this can be a stressful topic for new homeschooling parents, but once you get used to it, it’s a fun game! Start with: This is a game to learn to play! Creating your teen’s homeschool transcript is a game. It can be fun! So, let’s all take a deep breath and say to ourselves, “This is a game. I can play the game, and it can be fun.” So we practice a positive attitude, and it won’t be so bad! (Believe me, it is true. We have successfully helped our teens and hundreds of our local advisees create a successful transcript.) There’s not ONE right way Anyway, let me remind you that there’s not one right way to homeschool high school. (We say that all the time!) And it is especially true about transcripts. There’s not one right way to do transcripts. Even if you had a teen in a public school, every school’s transcript looks different. Thus, you get to adapt anything I share to meet your teens’ needs. BTW- at 7SistersHomeschool, when you download our transcript package, you will find a transcript in an editable format that we have used with all our teens. You, too, can use it to make your own transcript. The how-tos are all included! It has been useful for homeschool graduates for admission into college, the military, trade schools, or whatever their next steps are. Just like there’s not one right way to create a transcript, there’s not one right way to decide how many credits to put on the transcript. Every state has a different set of requirements for what kinds and number of credits are needed for graduation. In our umbrella school, we had kids from Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Thus, we had to require the highest number of credits from each state’s graduation requirements. Our teens needed twenty-six credits on their transcripts. With this in mind, adjust these tips for your teens’ needs and your state’s requirements. Courses your teens need on their transcripts Homeschool high schoolers need several kinds of courses on their homeschool transcripts: Core courses The core courses are the basic academics that teens need for graduation. Most states require the same core subjects, but may vary in the number of credits for each category. Core courses for the homeschool transcript include: English/Language Arts (ELA)– usually four credits ELA usually includes literature and literature analysis, writing, vocabulary, grammar/editing, and public speaking Literature can be a mix of genres or include an emphasis on one topic, such as American Literature, Cinema Studies for Literature Learning, British Literature, or other specialty topics such as C.S. Lewis Studies. Maths- usually three or four credits These credits usually include Algebra and Geometry; many states also require Algebra II. College-bound teens may need Pre-Calculus or Calculus, according to their major. Some states add Financial Literacy or Consumer Math to these requirements. Social Studies/History- usually three or four credits Many states require American History, World History, some Civics, some Economics, some Geography, and some Social Sciences like Psychology or Human Development. Science- usually three or four credits Many states require Biology and Chemistry credits. Some also include Health, Physical Science, or Physics. World Languages- usually two to three credits Usually, states will require that two of the credits be in the same World Language. (Teens love our Cousin Karim Morato’s Homeschool Spanish Courses.) Other required courses Many states have additional required credits, such as: Physical Education- usually one or two credits This can include sports leagues, lessons, or fitness courses such as 7Sisters Foundations of Physical Fitness and Framework for Physical Fitness. (7Sisters’ Fitness Courses include how-to videos by personal trainers.) Fine Arts- usually one credit This can include drama, art, music, and sometimes dance, if it’s not counted as Phys Ed. Technology- usually one credit Career Pathways- usually one to four credits A few states require Career Exploration, followed by courses that build experience in a possible career choice. For instance, teens interested in a Science major, all of their sciences count as Career Pathways Teens interested in non-college or trade schools. For instance, if Early Childhood Eduation is a teen’s Career Pathway, shadowing, volunteering or working at a daycare or preschool, as well as 7Sisters Early Childhood Education textbook. Elective courses Most states require some elective credits (usually one to four credits). Many homeschool high schoolers have more than the minimum elective requirement. That’s because we can include ALL of their...

2w ago00:33:16Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: How I Homeschooled with Natalie Mack. How I Homeschooled with Natalie Mack Our listeners tell us that one of their favorite podcast episode topics is when fellow homeschool parents tell how they homeschool! That’s because there’s not ONE right way to homeschool high school. It is encouraging and fun to hear how other parents are handling their educational adventures. One of our favorite people to have on the podcast is our friend and 7Sisters Cousin, Natalie Mack! Natalie is a force in the homeschool community! She has done TEDx Talks, is active in the military homeschool community, has helped with HSLDA’s work, and more. Every time Natalie Mack has been on Homeschool Highschool Podcast, listeners ask for more. Natalie’s story Natalie and her family are now a retired Navy chaplain’s family. Natalie’s husband was military active duty, along with a little bit of reserve time in two branches. He started out after college in the Army as an intel officer. Natalie married him a few years after college. They moved around the world as an Army couple with one child at the time, their oldest daughter. Then he was called to the ministry and left the military. They did some (“what we call ‘civilian time’”) for about seven years. They were living back in Maryland, their home. Her husband became a licensed minister after completing his Master’s in Divinity at Wesley Theological Seminary. They had had three more children by that time. Then they looked at each other and said, “We miss military life!” So, they returned to military life as a Navy family, her husband as a Navy chaplain soon after 9/11 in 2001. Natalie had just started homeschooling that September, as well. Her husband was assigned to Camp Pendleton in California. The family accompanied him to several locations. The last assignment was in Naples, Italy. Back in the States in 2020, Natalie started working with HSLDA as a high school educational consultant. She also created their military outreach program. Next, Natalie started an LLC to consult with homeschooling parents. She did the TEDx Talk: The Impact of Homeschooling. She also started a nonprofit, Military Homeschoolers Association. Natalie, as you can see, stays busy. These days, Natalie spends part of her time helping recruiters and military education service specialists in the different branches of the military, training them on homeschooling, helping them understand what homeschoolers bring to the table. How Natalie’s family homeschools Every family homeschools in their own unique way according to their unique goals and priorities. Here are some of Natalie’s family’s goals/priorities. Focus on homeschooling geared to passions and interests A focus on passions and interests includes parents, too! As you can see from Natalie’s story, she was faithful to explore the interests God gave her, and he opened doors for her. Also, following passions and interests is good role modeling. Natalie intentionally worked with each of her homeschool high schoolers to have coursework, volunteer work, and other experiences that helped them explore their interests. For instance, one daughter loved languages and studied them enthusiastically. This helped her with missions trips and college major choices. Another of Natalie’s high schoolers was interested in international politics. Natalie made sure that some of their experiences included courses in these areas. This led to his college studies at American University in that field. One of the things that Natalie has used and recommends is the ASVAB Career Exploration Program. It is provided by the military, but there is no commitment to enlist. Academics Academics were always important to Natalie and her husband. They are first-generation college graduates, both with Master’s Degrees. They saw college as the next destination for all five of their children. All five also wanted to go to college, as well. That goal has held, as all five of Natalie’s kids have now been to college. The youngest has finished his freshman year of college, and the other four have graduated from college, and two completed Master’s degree programs, and one is in his second year of a Master’s in Urban Planning with Virginia Tech. Note: Natalie’s youngest was on the podcast during his high school senior year. It was a great episode where he shared about the senior project he was doing for the conservation district. Have conversations Natalie’s family prioritized conversations. A lot of them happened late at night. “And, and I tell you what. That is when the most fruitful conversations have been.” God is Guide Through all the homeschooling years, Natalie and her husband trusted God as their Guide. The wisdom He gave them helped them: Survive on a single income Find meaningful resources and opportunities on a budget (for instance, libraries, community centers, local bulletin boards) Enjoy opportunities as they came, for instance, it was a blessing to Natalie and her family when she started helping HSLDA as an advisor for military families Model values Natalie and her husband modeled family values like: Hard work Volunteering Investing in homeschool causes like Military Homeschool Association Being an ambassador for resources like Council for Foreign Relations and Retro Report Note: Natalie’s youngest was on the podcast during his high school senior year. It was a great episode where he shared about the senior project he was doing for the conservation district.

4w ago00:20:28Tap to summarizeThis week on the Homeschool Highschool Podcast: How Many Credits Do You Need Each Year- Replay? How Many Credits Do You Need Each Year? If you have been wondering about how many credits your teens need to graduate, you are in the right place! What does it look like each year? Let’s talk about how many credits you need each year for homeschool graduation requirements and make it a bit more practical to understand and follow! Do you know how many credits your teens need to graduate each year? If not, it’s quite alright as we all know how confusing it can be to figure out the yearly breakdown, especially when we often focus on the overall number of credits needed for graduation. So let’s make it practical and dive into the details! Understanding State Requirements First things first, it’s important to meet the minimum credit requirements set by your state. Each state has its own set of credit requirements for high school graduation. While some homeschoolers choose not to follow state requirements, most of us do. If you are unsure about your state’s requirements, you can check your state department of Education or reach out to organizations like Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) or National Homeschool Advocacy for guidance. Typically, states require between seventeen and twenty-six credits, with the majority falling between twenty and twenty-four. If you are a member of HSLDA, you can also access this information through their resources. General Guidelines Although there’s not ONE right way to homeschooling high school, we have gathered some practical guidelines based on our experience raising our own high schoolers and advising others in our local community. Let’s talk about some of those guidelines now that have worked for us over the years. Keep in mind that these are not set in stone, and you should always do what is best for your teens. College-Bound Teens Let’s shift gears and talk about college-bound teens. In addition to meeting the state’s homeschool graduation requirements, college-preparation homeschoolers often need to go above and beyond. Colleges may look for a higher level of rigor or specific courses on the transcript, so it is a good idea to research the colleges your teens are interested in to see what they are looking for in incoming freshmen. This can help you determine if your teen needs additional credits or more challenging coursework. For example, some colleges may require three years of World Language, even if your state only requires two. They may also expect four years of Social Studies, Math, and Sciences, even if your state only requires three. It is important to tailor your teen’s transcript to meet these expectations and showcase their interests and strengths. (Here is more on what college-bound teens should be doing.) Some motivated teens may have the goal of graduating in three years instead of the standard four This is certainly achievable, but it requires careful planning and a heavier academic load. By dividing the total number of credits required by your state by three, your teen will need to earn more credits each year. They may need to double up on certain subjects or spread out credits over multiple years to meet their goals. Teens Bound For The Workforce If your teen is not-college bound and aims to enter the workforce after graduation, meeting the state requirements is usually sufficient. Divide the total number of credits required by your state by four to determine the number of credits needed per year. For example, if your state requires twenty credits, your teen would need five credits per year. In states with higher requirements, such as twenty-four credits, your teen would need six credits per year. If you are unsure whether your teen will be headed towards college or go straight into the workforce, sit down with them to have a serious discussion about their future. If you still cannot come up without a clear path, try some Career Exploration. Another class or two never hurt anybody, and they may be grateful for that if they do decide to go to college! Regardless of the career path your teen chooses, certain subjects are typically required by most states. These include: Language Arts Mathematics History/Social Studies (such as American History, World History, Civics, and Economics) Social Sciences Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and other elective Sciences). Some states may have additiona. requirements, such as: World Language Physical Education/Fitness Health<...

May 1900:18:32Tap to summarizeThis week on the Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Emotionally Preparing Teens for College with Natalie Mack. Emotionally Preparing Teens for College with Natalie Mack Navigating the journey from high school to college can be both exhilarating and daunting for you and your teen. It’s not just about ensuring they have the academic skills to thrive in higher education, but also preparing them emotionally and socially for the whirlwind of new experiences that college life brings. As a seasoned homeschool parent, you have likely guided your children through many transitions, and now it’s time to tackle this significant milestone. Join our friend and 7Sister Cousin Natalie Mack to discuss what it takes to set your teen up for success. Natalie is a homeschool mom who has graduated four with one in his senior year of homeschooling. She is also a figurehead in the military homeschooling community. Preparing Your Child For College From cultivating independent learning habits and managing time effectively to fostering emotional resilience and navigating the diverse social landscape of a college campus, there’s a lot to cover to prepare your teens for college success. How can you equip your teen to not just survive but to thrive in their college journey? Every homeschool high schooler is different. However, we have found these tips help them be ready for college. Academic Preparation First, let’s talk about academic preparation. You have already done a fantastic job homeschooling your teen, tailoring their education to fit their unique needs and interests. Now it’s time to shift gears and focus on developing independent learning skills. Encourage your teen to take ownership of their studies by including them in high school planning and their own goals. One practical tip is to introduce them to planners or digital calendars where they can track assignment deadlines, test dates, and study schedules. This helps them stay organized while also instilling a sense of responsibility. Incorporate College-Level Work Next, consider incorporating some college-level coursework into their high school curriculum. This could be through dual enrollment programs at local community colleges or online courses that offer college credit. These experiences provide a taste of the rigor and expectations of college academics and can boost your teen’s confidence as they transition to higher education. You can also familiarize your teen with the types of exams they might encounter in college. Practice timed tests can be a great way by building their test-taking stamina and reducing anxiety. But preparing for college is not just about academics. Emotional readiness is equally crucial. What Emotionally Preparing Teens For College Looks Like College life can be a significant adjustment, with new social dynamics and increased independence. For emotionally preparing teens for college, talk to them about the importance of self-care and managing stress. Encourage them to explore mindfulness techniques or relaxation exercises that can help them stay grounded during stressful times. It’s also beneficial to discuss potential challenges they might face, such as homesickness or the pressure of meeting new people, and brainstorm coping strategies together. Your teen will meet a diverse array of individuals from various backgrounds and walks of life in college. This exposure can be enriching but also overwhelming at times. Help your teen develop strong communication skills and a growth mindset. Encourage them to be curious, ask questions, and engage with people who have different perspectives. Remind them that it’s okay to feel out of place initially; finding friends takes time. Making themselves available helps. For instance, keeping their dorm room door open when they are around is a simple yet effective way to foster connections. Help Your Teen Learn How To “Schedule Backwards” One practical piece of advice is to practice “scheduling backwards.” When your teen gets their syllabus at the beginning of the semester, have them mark all the major due dates for exams, papers, and projects in their planner. Then, help them work backwards from these dates to schedule regular study sessions and check-ins. This proactive approach can prevent last-minute cramming and reduce stress. Practical Life Skills In addition to academic and emotionally preparing teens for college, it is essential to equip your teen with practical life skills. Make sure they know: How to manage their finances, including budgeting, understanding credit, and balancing a checkbook Basic cooking skills are also invaluable, especially if they will be living off-campus or in dorms without meal plans Teach them how to do their laundry Navigate public transportation Handle minor medical issues These skills will contribute to their overall confidence ...

May 1200:25:59Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Senior Summer Checklist with CJ. Senior Summer Checklist with CJ Do you have a rising senior on the horizon? If so, you probably feel the pressure of this eventful time. That’s why we asked our friend, CJ from Homeschool Through High School, to join us. She is walking the walk with her own homeschooling high schoolers. CJ’s story CJ has been homeschooling for a long time. She says she never thought she would get this far, but at the time of our interview, she had three high schoolers: a ninth grader, a tenth grader, and a rising senior. CJ has found that: Homeschooling high school is an adventure and a blessing. As she has been facing having a senior in the fall, she developed an unusual checklist for that summer of senior year. There is so much to do during senior year. However, we want to remember important things beyond academics. With that in mind, CJ has developed a checklist that is a little unconventional. First, you want to make sure that: You are up to date with your transcripts and testing scores Your teen has at least started the process for colleges, trade school- … gap year, missionary work, whatever we’re gonna do next However, CJ’s checklist is different. It includes things for your senior to pursue the summer before their senior year starts, along with family goals CJ’s checklist for senior summer These activities and goals will help your senior and your family be well prepared for that final year of homeschooling high school. Just relax and have fun Including some reasonable level of video games Reading non-school-related books Go swimming Watch the sun setting, noting the different colors in the sky Sleep in … can we just have them sleep in and be? If they want to cook pancakes every day for lunch, so be it Just let them be because this journey is going to go by so fast. Society has us throwing them out into the real world. And as homeschoolers, we don’t need to do that. There is going to be a shift, but they need time just to relax and be teens. Why is this important? A healthy life cannot only be serious. If we are always telling our rising seniors, “Oh my goodness, we gotta get the transcript read,” or “We’ve gotta go visit 14 colleges,” they may not have time or energy for personal growth and energy restoration. Teens (and adults) need some fun to be healthy. More on the senior summer checklist Ready for more ideas? Prepare them for “the question”! CJ tells the story of attending a gathering, where her 11th-grader was bombarded with the question, “What are you gonna do after you graduate?” There was so much pressure! She learned then to prep them with an answer that they feel confident with, even if that answer is, “I’m just gonna enjoy my junior year, my senior year, and I know everything is going to fall into place. I’m just gonna have fun right now.” Take “the photo” on the first day of senior year Senior photos are important as gifts for grandparents and friends. It takes stress off the senior year to get it done on the first day of school, on his last day of high school. Cover the life skills necessary for after graduation What do you want your kids to learn that is not in a textbook? Learn to hold their head high When CJ’s teens leave home for anything, such as a youth group, shopping at the mall, or hanging out with friends, she wants them to remember their character and their faith Remember their last name, and make sure they represent well And teens need to know that some of the ways that we carry ourselves, the things we do to honor our family heritage and tradition Go back-to-school shopping Remember this year’s back-to-school shopping because the next stage could be moving out, college dorm, trips around the world for traveling, or missionary work Plan simple family activities Think about simple day trips or pajama nights with all the siblings. Create memories of the family having fun together. Find a mentor, if possible It is good for teens to have someone outside the family to bounce some ideas off. It does not have to be anything structured. It might be someone they can play basketball with or go out for a hamburger. Encourage volunteering Volunteering is good for our teens for many reasons. It’s great for the teen and the community. It’s great for your mind and soul. God created us to serve others, and it’s a blessing. (Also, it looks good on scholarship applications. ) Encourage your senior if they’d like to, to write a letter to their future selves Then, they can read it on graduation day. They can see how they grew over their senior year, or they can just read the letter for fun. Moms, remember: Senior year is not an ending. It is a beginning!

Apr 1400:15:53Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Resources for the Homeschool Curious with Morgan. Resources for the Homeschool Curious with Morgan Welcome to the newest podcast on the network. We are so excited to talk to Morgan about Homeschool Curious! How Morgan became homeschool curious We talked to Morgan when she was pregnant with her fourth boy. Her oldest was five years old, so they started homeschooling not long ago. Morgan is what she would call a homeschool curious mom. As her sons became closer to school age, she began thinking about traditional school. She would visualize them sitting behind a desk for hours a day and that did not feel like the right fit for her and her family. So, a couple of years ago, she became homeschool curious. Neither Morgan nor her husband had been homeschooled. They both went to traditional schools growing up. She enjoyed her full-time working mom lifestyle. However, when she had two boys and pregnant with my third, it hit me that all her sons were very young. She would be paying to put all three of my boys in daycare in order to go to work. Something needed to change. Morgan and her husband decided that it was a good idea to stop her career and stay home with the boys. It was a very big transition because she had always thought she would work full-time. After all, she loved her job. She climbed that corporate ladder for about thirteen years. It was a big transition Although it was a big transition, Morgan and her husband quickly realized they were wise to follow what their hearts were telling them. They have not regretted the choice. The Homeschool Curious Podcast is born Morgan wanted to help other newbie homeschoolers connect with resources so she created the BaseCampEd app. Soon, our fellow podcaster, Melanie Wilson, of the Homeschool Sanity Podcast heard about Morgan’s resource and invited her on that podcast. Melanie felt that Morgan should meet Felice, the president of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network (and host of Vintage Homeschool Moms Podcast). Felice soon asked her to start a podcast for new homeschooling parents. It was a perfect fit. On Homeschool Curious Podcast, Morgan helps novice homeschool parents understand the process and resources for homeschooling. BaseCamp Ed App BaseCamp Ed was born during their early days in homeschooling. Morgan wished there was a Zillow where she could pull up a map of her area, find homeschool families, and connect one-on-one. Base Camp Ed helps people to find other homeschooling families and resources. When a homeschooling family wants to connect with other homeschooling families, they can type their zip code in and then find the other homeschoolers and activities in their area. How does it work? After the parents download the app, they set up a profile to find other homeschooling families. There are a few questions to answer, such as the age range of your children and your family’s interests. It’s like virtual online dating, kind of, but not that. Basecamp Ed can be found on both the Android and the iPhone App Stores. So, if you are new to homeschooling, check out the Homeschool Curious podcast, along with the BaseCamp Ed app! Morgan will help you find the resources to get started!

Transcribe →Helping Teens Handle Procrastination- Special Replay
Apr 700:18:40Tap to summarizeThis week on Homeschool Highschool Podcast: Helping Teens Handle Procrastination-Special Replay. Helping Teens Handle Procrastination Putting things off, especially things you don’t want to do, is a human thing. We all tend to do that. Sometimes for teens, because they have less experience in life, procrastination is one of the hardest things to conquer. Here are some tools for helping teens handle procrastination that you can share with them. Understand Why Teens Procrastinate The first thing teens need to know when they are procrastinating is that it really is part of the human condition. It is one of the parts of the human condition that we have to develop tools to conquer, though. Honestly, wouldn’t you rather just do nothing if you could? Or just entertain yourself all the time without doing other obligations? Sure, we all would, but that doesn’t make us happy in the end. And neither does procrastination. When you sit down and talk it through with your teen, usually when they are procrastinating, they actually feel worse at the end of the day than they did at the beginning of the day. That is because those things that need to get done just sit there in the back of their head trying to hide. As the neglected task is eating at their consciousness, their anxiety levels are going up. Skills To Help Teens Handle Procrastination When you see your teen procrastinating, sit down and talk with them about what they are procrastinating on. It could be math lessons or research papers or cleaning up their bedrooms – whatever… Once you have them talking about it, see if it is really procrastination at play here or if there is something else going on. It is a common thing for teenagers is to experience bouts of anxiety or depressive episodes. This is difficult for teens because they have no experience with handling those kinds of things. In these cases, procrastination is not really procrastination but stuckness caused by the tough emotions. When the problem is anxiety or depression For a teen, anxiety or depression can look like: Just sitting around like a lump their body may feel heavy, like their arms and legs are heavy and it is hard to move. Not being able to concentrate on anything Or feeling flat or miserable or hopeless Feeling like they cannot do anything. There are many different causes for anxiety or depression: Sometimes the mood is depressed or anxious Other times their hormones got off track Or perhaps they are experiencing a long-term stressor like a pandemic or other tragedy Sometimes getting in a big fight with their best friend can cause anxiety or depression It does not have to look like they are crying all day. In fact, it often does not. When teens feel depressed or anxious, they cannot focus on their work very successfully (unless it is really easy academics). But it is hard for them to handle more difficult things, those things that take a lot of concentration or they don’t really like too much. If your teen is experiencing anxiety or depression, have a gentle discussion about it with them. Then talk to the family doctor regarding what to do about it. See if they can connect you with a counselor. When teens get a few tools for recognizing what’s going on and managing these kinds of issues, they feel so much better about it. They will regain their energy to be successful at their schoolwork as well as the harder things in life. Tools for helping teens handle procrastination On the other hand, it is not uncommon for teens to actually be procrastinating for procrastination’s sake. In this case, try these tips. Eliminate Distractions Sometimes the procrastination is actually the teen feeling distracted. When distraction is happening: Sometimes it is caused by addiction to notifications. This is a universal problem these days where there are always these notifications going on for our teens (or us moms). Honest to goodness, if you could get your teen sit down and turn off notifications during the school day, where the constant sounds disrupting their thought patterns, your teen will have more neural energy and more thinking power to do the things that are not so exciting. Other times, the distraction is caused by having too many tabs open on the computer. Close unused tabs and see what happens. Sometimes they are distracted by something they are powerfully interested in. They would rather do some gaming or go bake a batch of cookies. Those distractions of things they would really rather do are calling to them. In cases like these, that’s a discussion for self-discipline. Those other interests are great, wonderful things to do. But let them understand that they can do them after four o’clock in the afternoon or in the evening or whenever school is over. Work on it together with your teen and come to an agreement. Try this: Help them list their next-day’s priorities each night before bedtime. (It is really hip these days for teens to literally write those priorities on a white board.) Practice Delayed Gratification One of the definitions of maturity is the ability to delay gratification. The ability to wait to do what they really want to do is a good life skill. Help teens reward themselves when they finish their daily priorities. (Have the write the reward on their white board, so they can really celebrate when they accomplish their priorities.) Help With Feelings of Overwhelm Many times, teens will feel overwhelmed. For They do not know where to even begin.
