the sweet memories of childhood linger on. My childhood recollections are those of a sheltered and carefree life, nurtured with love and concern. As I was the first child in the family, everybody doted on me. My funny lisping, my innocent mischief and my inane talk-everything was a source of immense pleasure to them. There was never a word of reproach or censure against me. Once a distant uncle picked me up from my school and, without informing my parents, took me to a fair. When I returned home

For me, I could go to my cousins down the road who were also homeschooled and we did our schoolwork together, and when we were done we would go horseback riding or something outdoors. Another pro for homeschooling is having the ability to have physical freedom. My mom would plan a day where we would do homework in the morning and then the rest of the day we would go to the museum or once we visited the fire station. Jenney Cheever (2014)
