Signs You Were Homeschooled
Facebook

Not everyone has the standard public school experience. The movies usually depict homeschooling unfavorably, casting the kids as anti-social outcasts. Many do not realize the homeschooling experience actually allows you to make lifelong friends while learning in a more flexible, stress-free setting. Children go into high school fully equipped academically and socially after their homeschooling. But then again... there are just some things that truly differentiate homeschoolers from "the normal kids".

1. You’ve been to pretty much every museum in your state.

2. Your mom found the strangest tours to go on (i.e bagpipe factory, the house of a lady who collects buttons, the house of a guy who makes boomerangs).

3.You might have been a part of a robotics team, or at least went to the competitions as a little sibling.


4. You learned how to teach yourself with friends.

5.You learned how to entertain yourself without friends.

6.You thought of public school as jail.

7. Everything was a field trip and learning experience.

8.You never knew why everyone else hated Mondays.

9.Sleepovers on school nights were a normal thing.

10.You have incredibly close friends from your homeschool group.

11.You learned how to include everyone.

12.You know not all homeschoolers are like the Duggars.


13.You are a little awkward, even when you try to keep it contained.

14. But you know you would be a completely different person if you weren't homeschooled. You are Homeschooled and proud.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
