Hello world!
My name is Sam. I am a fifteen-year-old home schooler who is totally obsessed with movies. I also love literature, writing and making comic books. That basically describes the major aspects of me.
You will soon find, dear reader, that besides being home schooled, there is nothing incredibly unusual about me. I do not travel all over the world and visit famous sights, I don't know everything about quantum physics, I don't live in Australia and I don't raise chickens either (I have two dogs, though). The most exciting news I've had all week is that I'm set to watch Pan's Labyrinth (Guillermo Del Toro, 2006) tonight with my Mom (if I get the dishes done).
Yep...I'm just your regular, everyday home schooling kid...
Okay, enough of the introductory stuff. I have important things to say, if you can believe that.
For the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to participate in the Contemporary Youth Orchestra's Student Journalism Project, which is a program where curious students and aspiring writers come together to "gain insight on the craft of journalism".
Each week we (the students) have the chance to talk with a guest speaker, who is always a local member of the journalistic field. Two weeks ago, we had the chance to talk to Thomas Mulready, the creator of www.coolcleveland.com.
Mulready is an amazing person. He connected well with the students and urged us all to start our own blogs. I had considered starting a blog before, but thanks to Mr. Mulready's encouragement, I decided to really do it.
So, again, here is my new blog: Chronicle of a Life Home Schooled. I have some good ideas for this blog, and future projects I would like to write about. Also, be sure to "tune in" for movie reviews, book reviews, or mindless film chatter, which their will be plenty of.
Enjoy!
