Chris and Christine are joined by a recent high school graduate, Maddie Sammon. Maddie attended public school until it was time for her freshman year of high school. After her life-changing experience in a private Christian high school, her parents have since decided to send her three other siblings to private school as well.  Maddie describes the differences she witnessed between public school and private, her reasoning behind wanting to make the leap to private school, and more. Since graduating, Maddie has also founded her own Christian ministry for mothers and daughters called Raise Up Rise Up.
