        I just had to get on here….. I am loving this course! I wish there were a way that I could write a review for people who are thinking about enrolling. I have spent the last YEAR trying to decide which school I wanted to invest my time and studies in. A year y’all! Going back and forth, comparing, pros and cons; and then I came across Dr Jones. I have no idea how or why, but I did.  I watched his video, and I thought to myself (I’m from the South so anybody that don’t talk like me, talks funny) he talks funny, lol.  I can tell within 2 minutes whether or not I think a person is legit or not…  Did I mention that I spent a full year researching schools!?  The Home Stead Academy wasn’t even in the list!!!! And I had about 5 that I had narrowed it down too.  After I watched the video, I immediately went to my books to cross reference. Then I found him on YouTube, I believe. I watched another video. I realized he was a Veterinarian. I had somehow missed that in the first lecture. So now, Dr Jones had my full attention. A freaking year I spent looking for the perfect school!!!!!!!!!!! I not only want to help people, I want to help fur babies too. But I’m gonna tell you what sealed the deal for me….. Not only his family ( what a beautiful family he has) but the fact that he is a Godly man.  363 days …. It was like God just dropped this amazing school in my lap. Now, I know it takes an army, kinda like it takes a village to raise a child… I know it ain’t just him, but he sure does a good job at teaching, and he has a sense of humor too. This was the perfect match for me. I am so thankful. He still talks funny though….

        I said all that to say this……. Thank you, Dr Jones, and all those who have worked diligently to bring this amazing course to life.  Well Done

        I gifted myself this course of studies.

              Shannon, it’s great to hear from someone who takes their time making decisions.  This was a slow decision for me as well.  You hit all the bullet-points as to why I picked this school.

                    I moved a little over a year ago from Atlanta, GA to the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in AR

                          Funny thing is…. I have no idea

                          How I came across his video.

                          I had never heard of the school before.  I had to check him out. That’s how I found the school.

                          I literally watched 2 videos and took the plunge.  And I couldn’t

                          Be happier about it.

                              Look at all us Southerners!

                              I couldn’t be happier.

                              That was so wonderful to read!  I think his teaching style is what is making the class extra special.  He is a natural born teacher.  I just started this week and darn it!  Life keeps getting in the way of more time on the class.

                                  Same here.  We’re in a snow storm so I am taking full advantage of it!

                                  I’d had the desire for over 15 yrs, and the schools I had looked into were obstacles for me, the pricing and the deadlines. (raising kids having no time, or being retired with NO income having no money!)  A dear sweet relative is investing into me to get this dream accomplished.  I’m not in the south, but rather in the PNW as Doc Jones is. Wishing you success as we start this journey!

                                  Liberty or Freedom? Know the difference!

                                      Yes ma’am!  Congratulations to you!

                                      I also love the idea of making friends all over the United States!  This is great
