"I LOVE SOCCER!"

Even though we home school, doesn't mean I want to keep my children away from people. I feel they will get a better education, as well as be more polite kids. This does not in away way mean that we will keep our children sheltered from the world, like some people think homeschoolers do. :) So we decided to sign our oldest up to play soccer, and today was the first meeting. I was a little nervous, wasn't sure what to expect, and didn't know how people would react to us being Muslims, but alhudullelah everything went well. Except the coach was introducing our daughter to the rest of the kids and asked her where she lived before here. My daughter just said I am from here. We have only lived one other place, and that was a city 20 minutes from where we live now. It's just hard to get people to think that Americans, can be Muslim too!

On the way home, my daughter was so happy and saying, "I LOVE SOCCER!".
