I sat down with Hayley Leach this past August 25, 2015. One topic came up during the conversation and that simple statement is that people can be mean. That simple fact did not stop Hayley Leach. After bullies became too much her during her third grade year, Hayley’s mom courageously decided that homeschooling would be the best option for her. Hayley immediately joined a homeschooling theater group and performed many musicals with that group. Hayley Leach is an exciting girl, with many talents, that was home schooled and she learned many important lessons throughout this process.
Creative and nonfiction are the usual ways that Hayley writes. She posts often on a blog that she has been updating for a while now. Along with updating her blog, Hayley loves reading fantasy novels. One of her favorite authors is Jane Austin. Jane Austin is not a fantasy writer, but Hayley loves reading her books because of the way that she writes. Hayley has received helpful tips when reading in order to improve her writing. Most of the writing she does for school is research papers. Hayley has had wonderful experiences with her previous English teachers. Being home schooled provided her the opportunity to edit her own papers due to being. Often times her mom would help her write, and over the years of being home schooled Hayley and her mother became very close.
Hayley and I seem to have similar goals with taking this class. One of them being that we would both like to achieve getting an A, but also improve immensely in our individual writing skills. Writers block seems to also be an issue for both of us when given an assignment. One problem that Hayley foresees in her future in this class is time management. She says motivation was a big hurdle to overcome while being home schooled. Problems I foresee for myself would be frustration, nerves, stress, and the work load. Being a high school student, coming to a college class is a little scary at first. Coming up with ideas seems to often give both of us trouble when writing. Outside of school I play volleyball and Hayley swing dances. School is very important to both of us, but Hayley has grown tremendously with her experience in homeschooling.
