<p>Thanks for the advice :)!</p>
<p>I think time management would be my only problem. To be honest, I really have no motivation to learn without direction. After spending K-10 grades in public school, I’m used to being told what is important and what isn’t important. I’d focus on whatever I was told, and erase the rest from my memory. I guess it’s also laziness. I do read all summer and do a ton of writing, but I’d love to continue with work that actually counts (I know it all counts, but I mean like get the classes down that are necessary) so that during my senior year I have room to drift more towards my interests. </p>
<p>I have found my “group” in public school and they were all good fun until this year. I live in a major HS party town, and now that my friends are into drinking/smoking pot it makes me not want to go out even more. I do have one or two friends that don’t partake in these activities so on occasion we do still get together for lunch and such. I don’t want to seem judgemental against my friends who drink- I am totally aware that a lot of towns have this problem and I know that college will mos likely only be worse. It’s just kind of annoying to have to deal with parents who don’t mind having 50 14 year olds in their back yard drinking, smoking pot and basically having a free for all. It doesn’t entice me. I do a ton of community service and if I do homeschool I would apply to volunteer to serve one meal at our local soup kitchen, so that I know I will be socializing with people besides my family every day.</p>
<p>I guess I’m just nervous to try something new. I’m scared that colleges won’t take me seriously and then I’ll fail at life basically. I really have no specific colleges that I am interested but have emailed a few that are options and all do recognize the Keystone diploma, but some asked that I apply as a homeschooler.</p>
