Tell us about being homeschooled. What are the best and worst parts about it?

So to clarify about homeschooling in general, the reason I choose to be homeschooled (and the reason my parents gave me the opportunity) is that it gives me the ability to expand my worldview and mind. Why? Because I’m not taught what someone wants me to be taught but I can develop my own ideas about the world - it’s less consuming and more thinking.

15 Minutes with Morgan Rouch, 2013 AHS Graduate
By Bailey Bowers

What have you been up to since your graduation from Ada High School?
I am studying pharmacy at Ohio Northern University and run track and cross country here.

What is it about pharmacy and Spanish that you like? What drew you to those areas of study?
I guess I always knew I wanted to do something in the health field, and somehow pharmacy just seemed to be the perfect fit for me. With my brother and sister both studying pharmacy and my mom a nurse, it was always something in the back of my mind.
