Local Celebrity, Nick



Last week, a reporter from our local paper came to swimming practice to do a story on our homeschooling swim team that meets on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1:30-3:00 PM. We were all very apprehensive as the last reporter that came created a total different story than she proposed to the parents. Today, my niece was excited to show me the cover and corresponding news story in today's addition of the Post Register. Nick was very excited to see such great pictures and many quotes from the interview. The story states, "Through home-school student Nick Bohman, 12, said the program isn't easy, the boy said he enjoys learning new techniques, no matter how difficult, as well as the exhausting workouts. " Later, it states, "(At first) I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do stuff," Nick said. "Now, I've won three ribbons. I feel good, like I did a good job."
Overall it is a good article that talks about how difficult it is for parents to home school especially during eastern Idaho's winter months. However, we come together to remain active and have great social interactions.
