ELaurie Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm trying to remember the name of a book - it's about kids getting out of the rat race of AP classes and homework overload and pursuing their passions in HS - it contains several amazing stories about kids who pursued their passions and got into college - what college admissions personnel are looking for in incoming students, etc. Thank you! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Probably not what you're thinking of, but... Not so much about getting into college and what admissions officers are looking for, but The Teenage Liberation Handbook (Llewellyn) was published back in 1998 and contains real life stories of homeschool teens who unschooled high school and used the time to pursue their interests, develop businesses, etc. Edited January 5, 2017 by Lori D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
