More Than Just Learning: Finding Home at Schoolhouse
Feb 12, 2025I am a homeschooled student from Myanmar, and for most of my life, my world was small—just me, my books, and the four walls of my room. Connecting with others beyond my family felt impossible, and honestly, I never thought I was missing out on much. But everything changed in April of last year when I joined Schoolhouse.world.
At first, it was just another learning platform. Little did I know, it would become so much more—a place where I found not only knowledge but also friendships, encouragement, and a sense of belonging I never knew I needed.
Schoolhouse became my safe zone. It gave me a space to grow, to speak, to laugh, and most importantly, to connect. I met people who left a mark on my heart:
🌟 Tasheen U – My favorite tutor, my biggest supporter, the person who helped me achieve a perfect SAT Math score. I wouldn’t have made it without you.
🌟 My SAT tutors – Litisha B, Dickinson T, Bryan E, Seth P, Srish P, Isaac H, Helena C, Helena H, Isha B, Ria D. Each of you played a part in my journey, and I am forever grateful.
🌟 Priyanshu K – My best buddy, the one who made this journey even more special.
Before Schoolhouse, my life was simple: eat, sleep, study—repeat. Now, each day holds meaning. Even on difficult days, this community never fails to put a smile on my face.
I cherish every moment, every conversation, every late-night study session. These memories are golden hours, ones I will hold onto even as they start to fade. And while life moves forward, I hope—just maybe—our paths will cross again someday.
To everyone who has been a part of my journey, thank you. You’ve changed my life in ways I never expected.
