How did homeschooling help you achieve your goal?

I am a part of my local homeschooling cross-country team and track every year. My coach is very positive and uplifting, and helps me focus on the long-term benefits of movement and running. Homeschooling allows me to take a break from my regular studies throughout the day to run.

What are your interests?

Running, arts, writing, and game design!

What are you inspired to do with your life?

I am inspired to try to solve bigger problems in the world through speech, the internet, and writing.

What are your favorite subjects and why?

Science, Writing, and Art. I like science because I understand it well and find it interesting. I like art and writing because they are outlets for creativity, and I find them very entertaining.

The photo was taken at Tiger Stadium on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, LA. That’s my dad, Josh Zeringue, with me! He ran the 5k race.
