Hello, and welcome to the site! I was inspired to create it by my own experiences, interest in homeschooling, and reading writings from other homeschool graduates. I was homeschooled for my entire K-12 education and lived all over the United States as part of a military family. Having graduated in 2023, I am now a college student living in the Intermountain West. As an older sister to several younger siblings, I still enjoy spending time with my family while at home. My interests include literature, earth science, biology, and flute.

Growing up, I experienced many aspects of homeschooling. Some were positive, like being able to learn efficiently, have lots of time to play, and not worry about switching schools. Some were less ideal, like the challenges of finding opportunities to make friends my age or trying to replicate a high school education at home. I have seen how homeschooling is a complex topic.

Since graduating, I have struggled to find spaces online dedicated to homeschool alumni. I have seen a few existing websites that publish testimonials from formerly homeschooled adults, but it is not much. That is why I hope Homeschooled Voices will be a place for nuanced discussions that include all homeschoolers.

I was homeschooled K-12 before earning a bachelors degree and entering the workforce. Growing up I was very active in the local homeschool scene with my family taking regular part in homeschool support groups, co-ops, and planning and attending homeschool conventions. There are many aspects of homeschooling which can be tremendous benefits to children, but there are also some potential pitfalls that can and should be addressed, and I hope to be a part of that here at Homeschooled Voices.
