Homeschooling Experience: As an Adult, Looking Back
Oh, the irony! He didn't even like school. Nothing about school was enjoyable and he definitely didn't like being homeschooled. Maybe, he was just embarrassed that it wasn’t cool enough. I don't know what it was. He always seemed like he wanted something different. I could tell that Mom and Dad got frustrated with my brother at times. Even though I was a good bit younger. I felt some of his distaste and disdain for some of the life choices that our parents had made. I saw the sacrifice that our parents made, but I wondered if he did as much growing up. Why couldn’t he just be okay with what Mom and Dad felt like was the best form of education for us?

She had an oxygen machine in hand. “Would you be kind enough to get me some coffee... coffee with ice.”
