Join me in learning something new every day

Below you'll find some milestones in my journey thus far. Self-education has been my life. Since my mother made the choice to move me out of private school and into homeschooling, I have been learning to teach myself. I have fallen in love with it and I want to share that passion with others. All you have to do is dedicate an hour a day. You will see life-changing results.
