Throughout school, I had gone to public school for years and decided on my own I wanted to be homeschooled. There are so many things I like about doing online school although a lot of people have negative things about it there are so many positive things about it. And no we are not socially awkward.

1. You get to chose your education level

Coming from a small town there weren't any private schools that offered a high education level, the school I first attended didn't quite offer the education I wanted. When homeschooled and choosing the school you get to choose the level of education that you want. You can delve into your favorite topics and pick the electives of your interest.

2. It teaches you a lot of responsibility

When doing online school you have to have the self-motivation to do your work and get it in, in a home environment there is things around your house you would rather do but you have to be responsible and get your school work done first.

3. You get to do your work in any environment

In public school, you are trapped in one building and in small rooms all day for hours at a time. When homeschooled you can go outside and enjoy the nice weather or take your school with you anywhere you are going. School work is more enjoyable in a nice environment.

4. You don't have to worry about missing when you have doctors appointments or other things

When going to public school you always have to work the days you missed for exams and catching up. Being homeschooled you are always excused and can do all your work anytime, day or night as long as you get it done.

5. You can dress any way you want

There is no dress code! If you want to be comfy and stay in your pajamas all day that's totally acceptable. If you want to show your whole shoulder that's even acceptable!

6. You can sleep in

I love my sleep and the feeling of being so refreshed after sleeping in. I can think better when I don't have to wake up at 5 am every morning.

7. You can work at your own pace

You can take your time and make it the normal four years or if you are like me focus and work very hard and get done years early.

8. Alone time

I love myself time, having hours alone is awesome.

9. You learn for the sake of learning

When you aren't limited to bathroom breaks or forced to learn but have to learn on your own not just because you are forced you never dread it. You love learning.

10. No Labels

As long as you love yourself you are never judged. Just surrounded with love and no judgments, free to be yourself and not feel pressured.

11. You are more prepared for college

Getting assignments and having to do them on your own without teachers constantly giving you more time to turn stuff in it makes it easier for college when you are on your own. It has more of a college feel than public school.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
