"Once I made the decision, I was very prideful about it, like you know, I'm doing the best. I am doing the best thing and all the sacrifice is the best way to do things for everybody. Really I learned over the course in the next couple decades that, that was a really bad attitude to have." "It's just still really rings true that the whole system is so artificial and you know has served its purpose." "My parting advice for people that are considering a nontraditional schooling path for their kids is just don't be afraid. Don't be afraid, don't listen to the naysayers. Choose one or two people that you really trust to help keep you grounded, in case something goes wonky along the way. But just do what's best for your family and don't worry about the other peoples' opinions."
