I started homeschooling this year! I love it. Well, at first I didn't. I felt like I was slowly being separated from my friends(which is true). However, it worked out for the better because I realized that those friends did not help me in my walk with the Lord. I am very involved with volleyball. So, I would highly suggest joining a club or sport. Team sports are the best because you automatically have a whole team of potential best friends AND they share the same interests as you!
