Inspiration for Joining the Educational Choice Movement

Growing up in California, my family had to make great sacrifices so I could attend a private school and then homeschool when it became clear my district school wasn’t working for me. I want to see all children – regardless of where they live, what their family can afford, or their own s have access to a quality education in an environment that meets their unique needs and strengths.
