We are oftentimes familiar with the authors’ that we are fans of. Their work captivates us and we become invested in their lives, in their journey. Stefan Merrill Block is an American author whose very first work was an international bestseller. This international bestseller was homeschooled as a child by his mother. The relationship he had with his mother cultivated and inspired some of the written works that he has gotten significant recognition for. Block often tells people he was homeschooled and states he tends to receive pity and concern on the opposite end of that statement.

Homeschooling Heroes: Jimmy Wales

When you were in school and had to do a small research paper, more than likely you heard your teacher tell you that Wikipedia was not a significant research source. This meant you couldn’t use Wikipedia as a research reference in your paper. The reality now though, is that we probably use Wikipedia more now than we would have for our research papers in school. It’s a simple source of information we may need quick concerning a specific topic or person.

It’s not often you hear about individuals who have become successful that came from a homeschooling background. There are a number of successful people whom you may have never known didn’t attend a public, or a fancy private school. Instead, these individuals were homeschooled.

If you aren’t familiar with Adora Svitak, she is a great example of a homeschooling hero. Adora is a writer and public speaker, and guess what?!?! She’s only 21 years old. Amazing.

Homeschooling Heroes:  Jill Ker Conway

When we think of heroes, we often times think of the kind with “super” in front of it. Superheroes. We don’t really think about the everyday individuals who are heroes in their own respect. In the same way, we tend to have this same thinking concept when we think about successful individuals: Steven King, Beyonce’ & Warren Buffet. These are all individuals, among others, that may come to mind. We think of the people who are often in the spotlight, or frequently discussed on news stations or blog posts.

Her unique approach to teaching led to a lot of learning! Bolger claims to be the second highest person to hold accreditation of such and very well may be one of the most educated humans on the entire planet.
