You Might be a Homeschooler if....

As some of you know, I happened to have been homeschooled all the way through high school. Being homeschooled, I have always seemed to be placed as someone who probably did not know how to socialize or the good little church girl or whatever. I was looking on the internet when I found this survey. Now, I don't necessarily agree with all the things that people automatically assume when they hear I was homeschooled, but a lot of these things are pretty close... It made me laugh a lot to think about the good old homeschooling days.
