Would it surprise you to know that the most important thing that you can do for your teenager is to teach them to work?
Join Bill Heid and Brian Brawdy as they interview the third of seven homeschooled children, Lance Seppi. Lance is an inspiration and a beacon pointing to the character that can be instilled within our children when we expect them to be more than they ever dreamed possible through hard work, initiative, and capitalizing on hidden talent.
In this episode:

There are two other much more important than all the above: 1) You start learning from the moment of birth and never stop even through death on this earth; everlasting life with God in heaven, if that part of life’s journey is appreciated. 2) Learning, like work, if an intrinsic part of life, or the experiences along as growing-up, being a teen, being a college student or working person, duty-honor-country = no matter what you do; take all opportunities, all adventures, all risks…never give up – and Believe! That will take care of it…each one person is unique, sovereign, and must find their own values which must be part of their person.
Reason a single person is interested in young people: Preamble to Constitution…they are the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…We the People, have had to learn this the hard way..loosing too many of our young to magic, gods, transformers, and mysticism…because too many of US(A) forgot God, His Son Jesus..
That is the most important facts you have mentioned there, God has send the Holy Spirit in His place to guide us trough all things, even if you had the time and opportunity to obtain hundreds of degrees and diplomas to equip you for this life, it is obvious that it does not guarantee that you will be successful at living the life you were created for and discovering the purpose you were created for. Only a relation with God will reveal that to you and the Holy Spirit will guide you through this very temporal maze called life.

I am not totaly convenced but I think you need to rethink your letting Michael to play the drums and other noisey instruments lol.
That was a fascinating interview, that I enjoyed very much. One detraction was all the time you wasted talking about your phobia – and you don’t seem – as knowledgeable as you are – to have a clue that yellow jackets are NOT bees! Get over it!
The best way to get over a phobia is to face it. Get your camera, grab a veil, and get the young man’s story. Please let him tell it – quit breaking in on his story! Meanwhile, you’ll feel good about yourself afterwards for facing your phobia.
