We Were Not The Cool Kids | #2

I'm honored to welcome Cari, a long-time friend and fellow homeschool alum to the podcast today. We reminisce about our deep-rooted friendship, homeschooling experiences, and the unique challenges we faced growing up. Join us as we discuss typical homeschool days, the importance of community, and their quirky extracurricular activities, such as being on a mime team. Cari highlights her role as the eldest sibling adjusting to a constantly changing homeschool schedule and the creative freedom they had. This episode also explores how homeschooling shaped our adulthood, transitioning to college, career decisions, and the invaluable support from their parents and community.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast00:34 Childhood Memories and Friendship01:42 Homeschooling Experiences04:34 Unique PE Activities08:09 The Mime Team Adventures16:05 Christian Homeschooling Challenges17:29 Adapting to College Life25:32 Homeschool Community and Support29:12 Prom Night Reflections37:33 Transitioning from Homeschool to College40:04 Parental Support and Career Choices51:29 Homeschooling Reflections and Advice56:21 Homeschool Stereotypes and Friendships01:00:55 Creative Homeschool Projects01:05:35 Final ThoughtsWanna chat with me?Shoot me an email at [email protected] DM me on Instagram ⁠@exhsclub
