No Regrets: How Homeschooling Earned me a Master's Degree at Age Sixteen
The story of Alexandra's experiences growing up as a Southern Baptist homeschooled child from New Mexico earning her education at a highly accelerated pace. At the age of fifteen, she became the youngest student ever to graduate from Brigham Young University in its 111 year history. Her nine brothers and sisters were also homeschooled and completed their educations at a similar pace.
Alexandra recounts her family's experiences with warmth, humor and affection in this poignant narrative which draws the reader into the Swann household and allows him to meet Alexandra, her brothers and sisters, and her parents, John and Joyce Swann.
No Regrets is much more than a synopsis of the Swanns' educational achievements, however; it is a story of love, friendship, perseverance, sacrifice and the bonds of family. The twentieth anniversary edition of this homeschool classic contains a new foreword by the author.
