I went to a homeschool in the Los Angeles Unified School District two different times in grade school (I think it was for 1st and 3rd grades) and for all four years of high school I went to a private homeschool. It was highly (optionally) interactive and when I went to my graduation (only after my mom forced me because I wasn't planning on going) I learned that I was the only person in my graduating class of 14 who didn't know everyone! I showed up and everyone was like "Who are you?!" Two of the students were even a couple of 3 years who met through the school. I'd get their newsletters every couple months and they were insane. They had picnics and charity drives and all kinds of shit and I just assumed that a lot of people didn't go, but it turns out I was the only one. lol. But the school is in Monrovia and I live in Hollywood, so I was not about to make that drive unless it was mandatory!

I didn't know anyone else who was homeschooled either.

I went to a CC and majored in journalism. Toward the end I decided to double major in childhood education and journalism once I transferred to a university. I got accepted to Northwestern, but decided to take some time off before going. I'd been at the CC for three and a half years (I became editor of the campus newspaper and was simultaneously working 5-6 jobs at a time, so it took my a little bit longer than normal to earn all my credits. For each of those final two semesters I was mostly working and taking only like 2 classes). My last semester there was fall '06 and I'm planning on starting Northwestern this fall. I'll start as a junior, so I should graduate in '10. That'll be 7 years after graduating high school! I could've had a PhD in that time! I went from being two years ahead of schedule to being a year behind schedule.
