I have the support of my parents and my teachers. They made it very possible for me to go to a school that is open and supportive of me being gone at times and pursuing acting. But school always comes first for me.

Having life experiences outside of acting is something my family has always made sure happens.

I go on and off home-school and regular school, but the kids don't treat me any differently because they've all known me forever.

When we moved to L.A., I started going out for more commercials, and then one day they emailed me a movie script. The first thing I said was, 'No way. I love commercials.'

Being homeschooled for half of my life allowed me to choose my own curriculum and find things I really enjoy, and that's kind of inspired me. I've always been intrigued in or interested in the topics I've been covering.

I really love acting, but I also really want to be a historian, so it's really confusing.
