He did a book called Straight-A Conspiracy with katie Obrien, i found him off Callen's podcast a long time ago, the book is fantastic if you want to 'learn how to learn' as it were, meta-cognition. He's a bit dry but very earnest and genuinely trying to help people. He knows about five languages I think

^ Here's a link to the book if anyone's interested. It's more for kids at school but because it's so basic it's really clear and precise about the ways your brain learns, what happens in the brain as it learns, how there aren't really any born geniuses etc.

You are going to be doing a lot of studying. You may as well be getting college credit for it.

Ah! I wish I had been brave enough to drop out of high school, get my GED, and go get a life. Looking back now, I wasted so much time in high school and it took me a lot longer than necessary to finally build a life that was my own. I applaud your reaching out like this. Take this opportunity while you are young and curious to do things differently. I hope these resources will help...

Check out Blake Boles' book College Without High School: A Teenager's Guide to Skipping High School and Going to College. There are also lots of resources now for unschoolers like Unschool Adventures and Not Back to School Camp. There are also lots of great unschooling videos by unschoolers on YouTube. Finally, I hope these short talks by Alan Watts inspire you: What If Money Was No Object and Music and Life.

Good luck and trust yourself!!
