The Life Of A Homeschooler

I have much flexibility being a homeschooler. I can go to the mall with friends during school hours, go on a vacation any time of the month, and my favorite is doing my homework outside.

Today I did my math outside in our fort, my dog soon joined. Bugs and a slight breeze accompanied me while I was doing my most important subject. It was pretty relaxing for doing something as complicated as math. Besides the time my pencil fell in between the wooden floor boards.

She eventually had enough Math...Sorry, Daisy.

Fresh air mixed with complicated conclusions.

She made sure I was okay before leaving. How sweet.

Bugs joined, but scurried away at the sight of a camera.

See that yellow thing? That's my pencil..Luckily I brought another one.

Humans...There's Something About Them...

"I know I'm supposed to hate humans, but there's something about them; they create, they discover. Just look at what they do with food!"

~Remy from Ratatouille

Humans. They're everywhere. Unique individuals fill the earth.

If you ever come to my house you might find me looking at pictures of people. I have a whole board on Pinterest. (Follow me, if you dare.)

They're all unique, in their own little ways. I enjoy viewing people because I have the freedom to create their personalities. My personalities may not be accurate, but it's still fun to 'create' people.

Look at the human eye. Colorful, speckled, unique.

Look at human fingers. Skinny, chubby, long, short, unique.

Look at the human face. Freckled, wrinkled, pimpled, unique.

When people hear 'Discover' I believe they most often think of discovering something BIG, or discovering why hiccups cause you to burp. But actually, it doesn't have to be big, you can discover anything. "Just look at what they do with food."

At the age of eight I discovered that pickles taste good with tuna. I also discovered that many people think my taste-buds are weird. Later I discovered that my taste-buds get offended easily. (Sorry little buddies)

You don't have to be distinctly unique to be unique. You don't need a pet chameleon, you don't need mutated eyes, you just need to be yourself to be unique. Even twins are unique.

I met a pair of twins when I lived in Minnesota, Samuel and Jordan. When you first see them you think that they look a lot alike, but once you get to know them you can easily tell the difference between the two. Samuel is a more down-to-earth person, Jordan is a more of a "What's up, dawg?" and an outgoing persona.

One thing I find unique about Samuel is that he has one brown speckle in one of his eyes. One thing I find unique about Jordan is that he has a double-jointed foot.

There's different ways to be unique other than double-jointedness. Humans fascinate me, that's something unique about myself. I like hobbits, pickles and the smell after it rains, you could call any of those things unique. Just look in the mirror. You are unique, we all are.

I enjoy long car-rides and watching the people pass. Some are cranky, some are laughing. Some are texting others are fully paying attention to the road. They're all different. People are unique, sometimes you just have to search for it.
