We only have to take those if we're thinking of going back to public school. Though if you want to go to college after you graduate high school, you have to take the ACT. The ACT test is a curriculum and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students' academic readiness for college.

That makes sense.
But you've not always been homeschooled, have you?

No. I was homeschooled through Elementary, but I went to public school during my middle school years. Now, this year, my father and I thought it would be a good idea. Since we've been planning on moving and I was held back a grade in middle school. Thankfully, I have studied hard these past few months so I can proudly be back in my appropriate grade.

Now that's cool Benjy! Congratulations and respect!

Thank you.

Good on you Benjy Well done and all the best for the future+::

Thank you, Briony.

An update, I'll be taking a lot of photos in the next week in Colorado. I hope to post them soon. If I don't here, you'll probably be able to find them on my deviantART.

I think it's the Best!

Good job Benjy but as a cook and mother you will need to put a connecting door between kitchen and dining room, to awkward to carry food around hallways. also you have not shown any wardrobes in any rooms ( all going naked i suppose+:: ) best of luck with your designs+::

Cool Benjy!!!
One thing though. The halls to the left and the right, aren't the a waste of space? Why not increase the bedrooms instead?

@Clear: Thank you!

@Briony: In the original design, there were two bay windows in the dining room with a fireplace separating them and a door leading to the kitchen and another one leading to the family room. But I guess I just forgot to add them this time. As for the wardrobes and closets, all I did was put a chest of drawers in the two bedrooms at the front. I'm not sure what I was thinking.

@Cassi: The halls aren't that wasted. They're only about 5 feet wide. I think the ones in my house are 3 feet and it's pretty cramped.

Oh, in case you guys haven't noticed, I sorta have a thing for big windows.

Well, I'm not good at imagining such things. Also your measurements don't tell me much as we are using meters. But the overall look of the house is really good.

Ah, sorry about that Cassi. 5 feet is a little more than 1.5 meters. If I'm not mistaken.

You're not. I asked a converter now which I could have done right away.
Well, that sounds okay. Not a huge hall, but also not too narrow.
