Zephi Curry graduates Salutatorian from WHBC with a GPA of 3.953. Zephi
was entirely homeschooled and gradutated high school at age sixteen.
Zephi Gabrielle Curry, daughter of Andrew and
Lorraine Curry graduated May 15, 2005 with honors from World Harvest
Bible College, Columbus, Ohio. Zephi was Salutatorian with a a GPA of
3.953, receiving a degree in Evangelism and Missions. Zephi was
homeschooled and graduated high school at age 16. In her high school
commencement speech, Zephi said:
"Ecclesiastes 9:11 states that “the race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to
men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and
chance happeneth to them all.”
I’ve been homeschooled in Rockville all of my life, officially starting
first grade at age five. …How is it possible to graduate high school
after never attending “school” a day in my life? How is it possible to
read and write and decipher without ever having been to school? How is
it possible to receive “homework” from “teachers” when I’ve never been
to school? (The usual place to get homework, I’m told.) How is it
possible that I’ve received high ACT scores when I’ve never been to
school a day in my life? How is it possible that I’m graduating high
school at sixteen years of age?…God is in charge and knows where I’m
headed. I’m going to keep following Him and keep doing my best. Jesus
takes care of the rest.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 says, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning
thereof.” Better is the end of high school, than the beginning thereof.
Much better is the end of this speech than the beginning thereof! God
bless you all, and God bless America."
Easy Homeschooling Companion tells, in Chapter 4, Drawing from My
Diary, the methods used in homeschooling Zephi and the rest of the
Curry children. This book also contains the full transcript of Zephi's
high school graduation speech.
