   Adria: So since we're talking about home schooling 1, what are some of the pros 2 and cons 3 that you feel of home schooling?


 
  Shiloh: Well one of the good things about home schooling is definitely that you are able to work off of your own schedule. I didn't have to wake up early every morning. If I did, I could get my work done early. The amount of work that I had, the time I spent doing it was dependent upon me and my schedule and how much time I wanted to work. I had almost the same amount of work as all of my other friends in real schools but the difference was I didn't have scheduled breaks or lunches or anything so if I sat down for four hours and I just wanted to work straight, then I could finish a whole day's worth of work in four hours. That's a good thing about it, I was able to travel and some days I wouldn't even do any school work because I'd be busy doing other things but that meant that I would have to do two days some other time. One of the bad things was that I didn't get to meet quite as many new people. I didn't have the typical high school experience which I feel shapes a lot of who people are. I wasn't able to meet friends in that sense, in the high school sense. I still have great friends and I'm not a loner by any means but it was difficult to meet friends.
 
  Adria: So did you find yourself slacking 4 off? Some days you didn't do any school work because you were too busy but did you find yourself taking many breaks or not wanting to do school work sometimes?
 
  Shiloh: Yeah, that's a big problem I think with home schooling. The student really has to be self-motivated and if the student is not self-motivated, then the parent who is doing the home schooling has to be very strict because it's really easy to just not do your work or to fake 5 it and kind of do it badly and it's really important that somebody is there to drive you to do it well and to finish everything. Fortunately I'm a fairly motivated guy and I always wanted to get my work done because I always had better things to be doing and I knew that if I didn't do it today, I'd have to do it twice tomorrow.
 
  Adria: So do you think that's something home schooling taught you was self-motivation that maybe other kids lack?
 
  Shiloh: I think so. It taught me self-motivation and also it taught me how to plan things out. I was able to plan out my day and my schedule. I would think to myself well tomorrow I want to do this thing, I want to go do this which means I have to do this today in order to do this tomorrow.
