there was a somewhat of a stigma around homesooled kids being able to get into college and what that looked like. And I
00:00:06
think, you know, the history of homeschooling, you know, it took a while for it to get kind of more socially
00:00:12
accepted and adopted in our country. And so, but I think I was really on the tail
00:00:18
end of that where it was pretty legitimate where my parents kept a really good record of what I did and I
00:00:25
had transcripts and all those types of things. So for me, college wasn't really
00:00:30
an issue as far as getting into it.
