After high school there are multiple things that I want to accomplish in my life. First I want to become a police officer. The two most important things to me in life is being happy and being successful in what I choose to do. I want to be happy even if I become rich or famous, if I am not happy with what I am doing in my life nothing else would matter. Success for me is simply doing something that I've always wanted to do and achieving it. Going from public school to homeschool has taught me a lot. For instance, I have learned how to manage my time and money better with only having to go to school two days a week, and working almost every night. It has also taught me how to be independent in most areas of life. It has taught me partially how …show more content…

Me working every night and going to school has taught me that I don’t have to be like everyone else, I can do what I want and take on the responsibilities of becoming a learning adult. Me having to pay for most everything except staying in my parents’ home has taught me to conserve money and not spend all of my money once I get paid. I eventually want to move out one day and homeschool has taught me to preserve my money so that when I want to buy something nice I can and still know when I need to save for other things. I have also learned that so many people try to put a label on you because you messed up a couple times while in public school. By transferring to homeschool, I found that they didn’t care what my label was they just wanted to help me find the easiest way of tearing that label off. Now on to what I want to do with my life. First I want to start either at the Jail or a Sheriff’s office so I don’t have to go to college to become a police officer. Even if my plans do change, I will always have goals for …show more content…

There might be obstacles that get in the way of accomplishing my goals. You never know what will happen next. It takes a lot of studying, hard work, and determination in becoming a police officer. I know if I stay focused I have the ability to get over the obstacles that stand in my way. What I plan to do now might not be what I want to do in a couple of years. Even if my plans do change, I will always have goals for myself. In five years I see myself accomplishing all of the goals listed above and being a police officer within the first year after I turn 21. I plan to go to a jail and work there until I’m 21 and then get accepted into the police academy and work real hard for a couple of years until hopefully some county in Georgia wants me as a police

Even through all of the trials and tribulations of trying to make it through high school, I still decided to continue my education. I have pushed on and tried my very best to go on with schooling with what I was taught and what I have had to teach myself.

These are vital skills later in life. Homeschooled children, who will not necessarily acquire these skills because of the protective cocoon of the home, will then be at a disadvantage when they grow up. (Menendez, 1996, P. 2-3). Children might drop the chance to interact with other children.

Families have many different ways they could be defined. I would describe my family as being blended. My brother has a different father than me, and he is still considered family. This aspect is important in my concept of family because even if I do not talk to them everyday, I still have this connection where they will support the decisions that I want to make even if it is not an opinion that everyone agrees with. On the contrary, there is definitely diversity by having a blended family, especially since they have been a part of most of my life.
