Intro

Hi Everyone!
This is something I have been thinking about doing for a while. I was raised in a very strict home and was homeschooled throughout my entire childhood, from kindergarten to high school. I was dubbed "Homeschool Heather" by my friends because I was very sheltered and most "normal" things needed to be explained to me. I have many friends who were raised the same way and we have all shared in the struggles of adapting to the world as adults. Now, after living on my own and working in EMS for the last 10 years, people are surprised to learn that I was the "Homeschool Heather" they had heard about in stories.  I began to become frustrated and curious about why I was blindly following traditions that I was taught and began looking for answers on my own to explain how the world works, what the Bible actually says about the rules I was made to follow, and why everyone was so against science. Of course, everyone has a different perspective on how to raise their children and how education should be handled. This is not meant to anger anyone, this is merely my story of my journey of overcoming Homeschool Heather.
