Thanks for sharing this. So lovely to hear and hope they find their joy and meaning in whatever they do!
if you are familiar with the UK system they were both home educated up to GCSEs (taken at 16, end of compulsory school age here), then went to college (school for 16+) for A levels. The younger one is 18 and just finishing college - and her A level choices included maths, which is quite a turn around given she hated maths when she left school. Her older sister works in power electronics R & D.
