I like the Grateful Dead and have seen them live in concert. I have brothers. My dad was once a farmer. I do not like to play the violin. I can use a keyboard, a mixer, and dj discs. I used to irritate my violin instructor on purpose. Playing violin frustrated me. I played violin when I was 15. I hated it. I was homeschooled from 2nd grade to graduation.
I am a student. I'm in my school marching band. My parents are both teachers. I am in my parent's English class. They support me being in the school band. My parents are easy going. My classmates know that my teachers are my parents. I am 16. I play the violin. I have been playing for 5 years. My instrument knowledge is mostly with violins.
How are things going in school? You still jamming out with the violin? School is good but stressful! I'm reaching my finals week & just can't wait for summer. I have my end of the school year band recital too, I've been practicing a lot. I love it so much, why'd you stop playing? I guess it just wasn't for me. I love music, but I guess some people have the gift to play a musical instrument, and some don't. I'd love to see you play in your marching band one time. I totally understand. I'll keep you updated on our next event! Your parents go to your events? Or maybe you already get enough of them at school? It must be somewhat convenient for them to work where there kid goes. It's convenient but also can be embarrassing sometimes. A lot of my peers think I have an advantage in their class, which if anything they make it harder. It's almost like being homeschooled. Did you like homeschooling or wish you would have been at a school? It's hard to imagine what the alternative would have been like. I don't feel like I missed out on anything. It must have left me with a perspective of school that is radically different than the perspectives of those that went to public school. Absolutely. I can't imagine being homeschooled after being here in school for so long & I'm sure you can't imagine the opposite either.  True. Are there any assignments in particular that you are having trouble with? Or is everything going smoothly? I just have trouble staying focused while reading and my parents are always assigning long reading assignments. Any tips to keep focused? Maybe before class, practice some breathing exercises. Also, remove distractions when doing reading. It's understandable that when close to graduation, you are probably more excited than usual. Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely really excited for summer vacation. Are you going to see anyone in concert?
