Im 23" before my 18 birthday ive always peak an interest into the arts like acting, drawing and painting and also language learning and legal studies
And politics. but i couldnt is cause the compulsory school system and my ASD diagnosis were holding me back from learning those subject. if i had learn those subject before i had turn 18, ive would been well specialize on those. Ive been comming to community college for the past 5 years, and i love it here. i have more access to those course's And subject that i later can use in my profession. Looking back to those time's of attending school wer. Miserable, ive had been bullied verbally attack by people who i couldnt click and relate too and had worsen my mental being.

This is nicely laid out. I'll be making a video on why school sucks and will be referencing your videos when I speak about alternatives to public schooling. As jaimekid2 said down below, I'm excited to help make this the norm too. Great work!

Hi Akilah, I've just contributed a subtitles translation in Bulgarian. Any chance someone can review this today so it goes live! I would really like to use your presentation as part of introduction to Self Directed education in my home town in Bulgaria tomorrow! Sorry for the last minute request. I have proofed the translation and asked another friend to proof read it too.
