I completed my two-year degree during my junior and senior years of high school, through Washington State's Running Start program. It was a general Associate's degree, but I focused my electives on science, math, and music theory.
From age four through my sophomore year of high school, I was educated at home by my parents. While I completed most of my work by myself, with my younger siblings, or through my mom or dad's guidance, I also attended science classes (taught by my mother) with up to forty other students once a week.
My mother and her teaching partner have since expanded their schedule of classes to include language arts, literature, and history along with their beloved science.
