I was given the opportunity recently to approach Heather Idoni, a friend and business owner, about working together in a Service Learning Project. Heather has a successful business selling books and cds online, and is very involved in homeschooling activities. She is a mother of five, a shrewd business woman, and a passionate advocate of homeschooling and family-centered education. Her business, Beloved Books, has impacted the local homeschooling community in a big way, and she is well known as a philanthropist in that regard.
The document that Heather wants me to create is a survey. The purpose of the survey is to gather information about the patrons of her store: more specifically, to learn what families’ homeschool, how many children they have, and how open they are to being involved in other community activities. The survey covers basic information, and provides some open-ended questions about service and customer wants.
I am excited to see what will come of this new working relationship. I have known Heather for a long while - ever since I was a teenaged homeschooler, in fact. I know from experience that she is a dynamic woman and a driven and motivated person, and for this reason I feel that we will mesh well together. While we are only in the opening stages of our work relationship, I sense great things to come!
