I’ve emphasized it before, and it’s worth repeating—skincare is my passion. I’m discerning about what touches my skin, consistently discovering that the best results come from everyday grocery items rather than skincare products lining the shelves of drugstores. I’ve experimented with numerous options, and my sensitive, dry skin consistently craves natural cleansers or pantry items that restore moisture, add radiance, and avoid causing breakouts.

Before delving into the realm of homeschooling, let me share a glimpse of my schooling experience during my formative years. My educational journey began in a public school during my kindergarten year, and I vividly recall the taste of hairspray lingering in my mouth as I walked the halls on that inaugural day.

For the most part, my time in public school wasn’t terrible, except for the occasional reluctance to attend and the unwarranted bullying from a girl named Megan, who seemed to consider tormenting me and other classmates her favorite pastime.

Come first grade, I transitioned to a Christian private school, where my dad held the position of principal, and my mom was a teacher. This environment felt somewhat akin to a homeschool setting for me. It was during these years that I discovered my love for basketball, a passion I pursued from 3rd grade all the way through high school, creating some of the most cherished memories of my life. Go Eagles!
