there was a somewhat of a stigma around
00:00:02
homesooled kids being able to get into
00:00:03
college and what that looked like. And I
00:00:06
think, you know, the history of
00:00:07
homeschooling, you know, it took a while
00:00:09
for it to get kind of more socially
00:00:12
accepted and adopted in our country. And
00:00:16
so, but I think I was really on the tail
00:00:18
end of that where it was pretty
00:00:21
legitimate where my parents kept a
00:00:24
really good record of what I did and I
00:00:25
had transcripts and all those types of
00:00:27
things. So for me, college wasn't really
00:00:30
an issue as far as getting into it.
