have an incredible time making friends and having fun while they do it! Some of my friends have made great companions throughout the country, and even met new people who live nearby.

And so, not only have I been socialized, but I believe I have had the better hand for being homeschooled. My parents are free to teach me what they believe is right, my whole family, parents and children, are closer through spending so much time with each other and getting to know each other better, and our schedule is more flexible, which actually allows for more time for socialization, while we can still be sure that we have a proper education.

What's more, the socialization I have had has been to my greater advantage because I, and my parents, can chose who it is that I will be around, hang out with, and be influenced by. I have never lacked friends around my age, but I have also had the advantage to learn how to communicate and socialize with those older than me and to have their wise influence on my life, and I have been able to learn how to communicate and socialize with those younger than me, and have the opportunity to influence their lives for the better.

I do not believe I could have been socialized any better than I have been through homeschooling, and I am ever grateful that my parents chose to take this path through life.
