“We would not be able to do our job if we did not go to online school full time. We are never home. Our schedules are always unpredictable, but with the flexibility that we have being online, we get to make it happen. We get to be educated and do our job.”

“I have more time to get my schoolwork done. If I go on trips or I go for advocacy work, my mom can help me prepare for the upcoming lessons. I can take my computer anywhere I go.”
