Scholarships for High School & College Students + How to Help Your Student Become a Lifelong Learner
I recently spoke with Kami Wanous, the creator of the Raising Leaders Roadmap and a homeschool mentor. A credentialed teacher with over seven years in public education and homeschooling since 2008, she draws on her background in English, leadership, and freedom principles to guide families toward meaningful learning. Kami helps homeschool parents create a culture that inspires a lifelong love of learning—equipping them to mentor with confidence and raise passionate leaders who make an impact in the world. She has been featured on CBS News and as a guest writer and speaker for homeschooling conventions, blogs, magazines, podcasts, and YouTube channels.
In our conversation, Kami and I discussed:
-
What it means to be a lifelong learner
-
What a lifelong learner looks like
-
Why being a lifelong learner is important for our kids headed to college
-
Whether students can be "successful" in college without being lifelong learners
-
How parents help our kids become lifelong learners
-
And much more…

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
