How to build a successful homeschool

If all the popular kids were wearing Perry Ellis and Guess clothing, I was in Levi’s. It has always been my nature to look at what the crowd was doing and do something different because in the crowd is where average lives and I’ve never been what you would call average. [Read more…]
