Having Greenhouse was hugely important because I got to socialize with other kids my age and it gave our family homeschool program a regular cadence for the week. Looking back, Greenhouse and homeschooling helped me become more confident, and gave me skills like time management and intrinsic motivation that many of my peers had to learn for the first time when they got to college.
