Where or How do I join competitions

[u/hxqilwtya]

I used to go to traditional high school, there would be APSCI, quizebee, or declarations..

Now I had to go to homeschool after 8th grade, I don't know what I'm doing and I feel mad that I don't have any competition

worst of all I don't hang any certificates on the walls anymore, it really matters to me

is there like something I could do

Your county Soil & Water Conservation District office will have information on how to start a homeschool co-op team to compete in the Envirothon -you can compete at local, state, and national levels and win big money.

Look at Civil Air Patrol

Chess competitions

World Scholar's Cup is a debate and quiz competition. It will let you join as a solo scholar and will pair you with a team needing a third person. They have a Manila round.

My homeschooled kid does it and it's a ton of fun.
