Unschooling Teens
I am a 17-year-old unschooler. I was accepted into my top-choice college and was awarded 2/3 tuition scholarship. I have had many successes in local theatre. My local community has asked me to write about how I impressed colleges and navigated the admissions process. So I am working on a Squidoo page (Squidoo is a site where users create a singular page on a topic) about unschooling teens. By Andi Enns.

Stephanie, Age: 17. I am a slightly crazy teenage girl who's scared of driving, boyfriends, college, romance and wasps, but loves to use her imagination and be creative. I'm not into boys, clothes, hair or make-up, but I AM into books (total bookworm!), music (especially piano), movies, chocolate, fantasy and sci-fi stuff. I'm also a homeschooled Christian pastor's kid and DARN PROUD OF IT!!
