I might not be on here so much because, although I am only in the ninth grade, I am homeschooled which gives me a lot of options, so I've decided that along with my regular ninth grade schoolwork, I'll also be doing a series of CLEP exams to earn a Bachelor's Degree without having to ever even go to college. It's going to be a lot of time and work so I will not be able to be on here so much. -@olliebob

It may take me till 2019 or even 2020 i'm not sure but I'm hoping for 2019 so there is a preview of the story, cant wait to see where its going to take me!

How many book quizzes did everyone complete? I've finished 11.
auntieb auntieb

It's something the Editor asked us National Geographic club members if we wanted to help create them! (You could probably find her comment in the previous pages).
