See part 2 of this journal.

When I was eleven years old, I made this homeschooling journal which I kept for three years from 1996 to 1998 at my house in Oregon, USA.

I was a bit behind in school, early on in life. But my mom never gave up on me. On top of that, I was really interested in succeeding in life from a very early age. And I started writing better when I was ten years old.

Here are 105 scans of almost every single page of this particular notebook excluding a few blank pages. Some or possibly most of the articles found here were copied and pasted by me from encyclopedias and other books. In other words, not a lot of the essays and papers here were of my own.

I drew pictures, illustrations, ideas, most of them were just copied from random books found in my trailer. See, my mom had a lot of books. What the Hell, she still does. See, knowledge is power. Books have so much value. I was able to practice my drawing, writing, printing, organizing, etc, skills, even as I was mostly just plagiarizing.

Some of the subjects, topics, categories, themes, and other such things covered in this education diary blog of mine includes astrology, education, history, science, geography, art, maps, U.S. Presidents, timelines, animals, etc.
