May 2014

From age 9 to 18, I was unschooled, I'm autodidactic, I taught myself. My edge over all those high school educated 18 year olds is that I actually enjoy learning what they teach me and I'm new to all the material.

Driving and college was my jump forward into a healthy mindset. I just mean sort of that NAMI speakers usually have some sort of huge accomplishment in their lives like a college degree and I want that too before I tell my story.
