RE: Hello! I'm Derek, a Canadian landscape photographer, and I'd like to share a few photos with you and tell you my story. :)
This is happy news! :)
Yeah, that's a really good point! It's such simple and beautiful storytelling with bits of otherworldy weirdness thrown in here and there to keep you guessing.
Haha wahoo! Did you like being homeschooled? What curriculum did you use?
I think I liked it as a kid too (did you?), but I really started to like it when I grew up and saw what school was doing to kids. I am so thankful I was homeschooled and wouldn't have had it any other way. I did the Alpha Omega Online high school.
BJ and Me was my jam. Oh Bob Jones. Those losers who did Sunlight were dumb.
Uh huh. I'm guessing you did too? ;)
Haha no!! I did Bob Jones University curriculum. Which probably explains a lot of things about myself now.
This explains everything.
Now it all makes sense.... (actually I have no idea).
Good answer.
Yeah, I loved it as a kid! I could have my schoolwork done by noon then spend the rest of the day running around in the backyard pretending I was Daniel Boone! I had some other close friends who were also homeschooled, so I think that made it more enjoyable as well. As I got into Jr. High, I definitely was interested in going to a public school where I would have more social opportunities, but I never felt like super confined by being homeschooled or anything like that.
Gotcha, I did Sonlight if you've ever heard of that haha.
That explains the lumberjack beard and the red checked shirt (not that Daniel Boone had those things, but, y'know, stereotypes)...
Sorry, I haven't heard of Sonlight, but I have to admit I'm not up on my homeschooling curricula. Unfortunately I didn't interact much with other homeschoolers (was a loner even then), so I didn't know what else was around. My parents could probably tell ya. :)
Haha I guess it gives it a little context eh!? :)
Well I'm deeply offended! Just kidding, I don't think it was very big. Basically involved a ton of reading books which I loved.
You said "eh"!!!
Did you have to also analyze the books and do essays or did they actually let you read them?
