He can easily read his assignment and write a response and receive a good grade. He is very thankful for the years of practice that he had with HOD. He may not have always enjoyed the narrations - but they sure are paying off now! Hopefully you can encourage your students with the knowledge that all those narrations will make college work so much easier (if they choose to go that route). His professors consistently are impressed with his work and leave comments on his papers that note the depth of insight and detail that he provides in his writing. I believe that many college students aren't prepared at all for all of the writing - so that makes our HOD grads stand out even more! Thank you, Carrie, for your very intentional, step-by-step writing instructions throughout the years. We couldn't have done it without you and it brings us so much joy to see Isaac doing so well at the college level!
(His major is Business with a cognate in Finance - probably partly because of his Finance credit in HOD's USII!) Now he's studying for his History I CLEP. He has remembered so much of it from HOD's U.S. History I. That has made it easy to study for so far! He's also thankful for the 'context' of history in HOD. Much more interesting than studying for the CLEP, and it brings even the CLEP studying to life, a little!!! 
I have learned HOD has made him a careful reader and a good guesser, even though HOD's assessments aren't often in a quiz/test format. CM's assessments teach students to read and to think and to write. That pretty much covers everything. So, so proud of your son!!! Give him a hug from our whole HOD family (or shake his hand, if he is not a hugger 
)! Thanks so much for sharing on our board!
