Hi, I’m Mason and I’m 14. I live in a small town in Texas in the USA. I’ve got
three sisters and two brothers. I love basketball and baseball. I’m into hip hop and
comics. I often ride a bike or go swimming. I read a lot of books, but I don’t go to
school. I study at home together with my brothers and sisters. Our mum is our teacher
and I love it! Why is homeschooling great? We learn the same things as our friends at
school but it’s more fun. Our mum knows what we like and what is difficult for us. Just
like in every school, we do homework and take tests. We don’t use course books
because Mum usually prepares the lessons. She uses information from the internet or
books. We sometimes go to the library or meet with other homeschooling families. We
go on trips together to museums or to other interesting places. Homeschooling helps me
enjoy studying. In the future, I want to go to university and study history. People always
ask me ‘Don’t you miss friends?’ But I say, ‘How can you feel lonely when you’ve got
three sisters and two brothers?’ We are very close, and we enjoy doing things together.
