Tell us a little about yourself:
My name is Mason and I am a farm kid from Oklahoma. I am 12 years old. I have been homeschooling since I was 4 years old and I just started my high school credits this year. I spend a lot of my time working with my mom in all of our gardens and I really enjoy that, like any farm kid would.
What are your hobbies? What do you like to do?
I like gaming. My favorite games to play are the crew 2, dying light, and forza horizon 4. I also really like hunting and fishing. I have been hunting for several years and I have been fishing since I was really little. I have my own guns but I also really enjoy shooting my bow. My dad and I are even planning to go to archery contests this year.
What do you think about homeschooling?
I like it. It’s better than public school. I can get through it quicker because I don’t have to do a lot of repetition. I like that I can choose a lot of my subjects in homeschooling. I also like that, with homeschooling, I get to do a lot of hands on learning. I also like that while I’m doing my schoolwork, I am in a comfortable environment; however, I also have to be careful, because all my toys and stuff are nearby.
What is your favorite subject?
My favorite subject is agriculture. One of the reasons is that I am outside a lot of the time. We are out learning about plants, and raising animals and even how to provide for my family. And, a lot of my other subjects come in when I’m learning agriculture, like Biology. I’m also really good at math, but it’s not my favorite.
I also really like cooking and baking. I like that I get to make food, while having fun. And sometimes, we even grown our own ingredients for the food we are cooking!
What is your least favorite subject?
My least favorite subject right now is biology. It’s just too long. I have to answer so many questions and I have to write out such long answers. So, that’s why it’s not my favorite.
What do you plan to do with your life?
I want to be a welder and continue to do work on youtube as well. I would like to work as a welder, after I get my certifications, maybe for an oil company. Then, I would like to work up to having my own mobile welding business, maybe helping farmers and ranchers with their welding needs.
I would also like to continue doing the videos and stuff that we have been doing. I like doing the videos that Logan and I do on youtube for Brother Bloggers and I want to keep doing some of that.
You have mentioned that you plan to homestead, so what are those plans?
I already have the land where I will be building and my plan is to start with a barn that has a living quarters as well as a welding shop. I plan to expand my homestead to the point that we have a sustainable living without having to go to the grocery store. I want to grow my own food, raise my own livestock and provide for my family from my home. I am a farm kid so this kind of life works really well for me.
What do you like the most about homesteading?
I like that I can live off the land and expand where I want. I really like that I will have a nice size area where I can grow my homestead and not have neighbors super close. I really just like that I can provide for my family from my land.
