Introducing myself as...

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone! I'm Adam (pretty obvious from my username), a fourteen year old bilingual, home-schooled "lad". I live in the wild Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain,

where we lead an adventurous life which I would like to share with people here: everything from permaculture to off-road mountain biking often accompanied by my doggies Bella & Scruffy (left and right in my profile picture).
I have a lot of interests/hobbies/passions or whatever you want to call them, chief among them being cardistry/magic, reading, and sports like surfing and padel.
Being home-schooled is partially what makes it possible for me to have so many interests, as the ability to travel during term time etc. gives us more freedom. There's also the excuse of saying that stuff is part of my personal curriculum to justify doing it 😋. The only problem with it is the shorter lessons means increased homework, which is the bane of my existence...if only I could burn it.

Of course, having a mum who was already doing homeschooling with my siblings 10 years ago and is open to new ideas is what makes it all possible (but you can do it as well!). My mum is adamantly against TV, and we've never had one in the house, which played a big part in my sibling and I reading a lot and I guess you could say turning us into "intellectuals" wich is proovd by my speling.
So, to summarize, I'm going to be talking about homeschooling/alternative lifestyles, my hobbies and pretty much anything interesting! (any suggestions are more than welcome!!!)

Thanks for reading!

Adam

haha I love your sense of humor already! :) Welcome to Steemit! I have a 13 year old son, who used to be homeschooled, but he decided he wanted to go back to a mainstream school for his senior years. He has additional learning needs (ADHD, tourettes, autism etc) which make socialization hard, so his school day is mainly focused on making and keeping friends. When he was homeschooled, there were not enough kids his age to mix with and he felt that was a problem (we are in England, UK), so I agreed to let him go back to school. I am happy to see you here and I hope that I can learn from you and help my own son if he feels he wants to return to homeschooling at any point! :)

Heh, thanks, i may be a stand up larfer when im older. And if my homeschooling posts can give any help im happy :)

Welcome to Steemit Adam. My daughter is being unschooled too, so nice to hear about home education not from a parent, a teacher or a government "official" but actually from someone who has experienced it, and is quite clearly a well balanced, thoughtful, interesting young person. Enjoy the journey.

Welcome on board @adamgallin!
Look forward to finding out more about what switched on, homeschooled teenagers get up to =)

Thanks, and hopefully me burping and sleeping will fascinate you 😝

Welcome! As soon as you said billingral and homeschooled, i knew somehow alpuharras had something to do with it! Have fun on here and spread the alternativeness far and wide!

Merci, and i guess that's the kind of thing its famous for haha

:) hope so! it is somehow so easy to meet everyone that youd meet whilst travelling hahahaha

Hey Adam! I believe we met in El Morreon if I'm not mistaken :) Welcome on board to both of us :D

Umm... ehem yeah, yeah, i remember you... (no clue, but since i cant see you profile picture big thats probably it 😓)

Yeh im also not completely sure if it was you haha, would have been at rubys birthday if you were there, with mark telling about steemit. But if we didnt meet its nice to meet you here 😉

Yeah i wasn't there haha

But was it easy to make friends after being homeschooled

Yeah, I didn't find it that hard, partially because I did mainstream primary school and partially because I go to the sports center quite often. Most of my friends I didn't actually make in mainstream school but met doing sports

Welcome to the platform. There are many home schoolers here. My son is in his senior year and is also home schooled. If you are into gaming he does gaming reviews on here @ultrawing is his username.

I don't really play PC games but thanks for the welcome

He doesn't play many pc games but one that he does a weekly review on.

I was homeschooled and also read books instead of TV. looking forward to what you have to share with us!

A lot is what i have to share 😉

another homeschooler, right on! welcome to steemit
