More opportunities
“Homeschooling while living abroad has gone quite well,” continues Dylan. “There were extra challenges at times like getting too many assignments crammed into one week or falling behind, and sometimes I haven’t made contact with my Tutors at all, but I’m working on being more confident in asking my Tutors.”
“I can do sailing outside of the weekends now, since in homeschooling I don’t have to take a ride from school back home, get ready, then take another ride to sailing, instead I can just immediately get ready for sailing and even go there during a school day, of course after I’ve finished my studies! When restrictions began to lift in Qatar in August 2020, I was able to finished my Stage 4 RYA Certification in Sailing and in December 2020 I joined my first ever Winter Junior Regatta in our local club. I competed on a Zest Dinghy and was placed 2nd in the competition. It was my first time to race and I felt incredibly proud.”
