My Feelings about Homeschooling

I enjoy homeschooling because I get to set my own goals instead of having a teacher say, 'This is what you need to do and when it needs to be done by. Do it.' I am also glad that I am homeschooled because if I attended the middle school I would have to be at school before 8 am every day.

At first, homeschooling was hard to get used to. The curriculum can be demanding, but I find homeschooling to be fun and exciting. Sometimes I get off track and everything is chaotic, and it is extremely hard to get back on track. Often my whole day is effected, but sometimes I get back on track and finish well.

That is how I feel about homeschooling.
