When I tell people I’m homeschooled, they usually stare at me for a second surprised. Maybe it’s because I’m a very social person and they’re surprised to find out that I don’t go to school eight hours a day, or maybe it’s because I’m weird, but I don’t go to school, so no one has …
My schedule as a homeschooler looks pretty different than most teenagers. I am a junior and have been homeschooled since kindergarten. My average school day looks like me starting my live online class at 7:45 am, this class switches every day. On Mondays & Wednesdays, it’s English (college English 101 & 203) and on Tuesdays …
It’s the new year, Yayyy the decade is ending, and it’s time for a fresh start. I don’t know about you, but usually, a couple days before January 1st, I’m making a never-ending list of resolutions. I get so excited and make about a million goals and say, “this year is going to be different,”; …

I love seeing people’s reactions when I say I do CrossFit; their eyes usually get wide, and they usually just say, “wow, that’s crazy.” I started CrossFit about 2 & ½ years ago, and I’m so glad I did; my mom talked me into going, and I was really nervous. CrossFit doesn’t have to be …

High school is full of influences, good and evil, it’s essential to choose to follow the right people and make the right friends. I’ve definitely have given in to pressure to …
One of the hardest things about living in today’s world is learning to be comfortable in your own skin. There is a huge struggle to be ourselves, and we feel like we have to change to fit in and be accepted. We have a deep-seated fear of being rejected; we are afraid of being alone …
