About Mike!! So, you want to know more about me? Alright, where should I begin --- my name is Michael Dinger. I was born in Michigan about 19 years ago. I currently live with my parents in South Carolina where I am attending Presbyterian College. I went to public school in Michigan up until 6th grade when my dad got a job in South Carolina. That year we moved south, and after much thought and consternation, it was decided that we (my brother, sister and I) would be homeschooled. This was cause for much celebration in my case. I did not particularly care for public school, and I figured that if I was homeschooled everything would be smooth sailing. I, at the age of 12, had visions of spending all my days fooling around and doing nothing. Well, I was wrong about the fooling around part, but I was right that it would be smooth sailing. I loved being homeschooled. Much to my own surprise, I actually began to enjoy learning. Furthermore, I never once missed the experience of public schools. After a couple years, I was ready to begin thinking about college. Before I knew it, I found myself enrolled in Tri-County Technical College for English 101. It was only a couple months after I turned 16 and I was going to take a college course for both high school credit and college credit. Now, I did not really know the first thing about college. With much anticipation, I finally stepped into a college classroom that Fall, and after a few classes, I found it was not really all that bad. Even so, I had never done anything like it before and felt rather unprepared. The good thing was, though, that since it was my only college level class, I could focus on that and then do my homeschooling work as well. It was a tentative first step into the college world. I finished that class and signed up for English 102 and College Algebra for the spring. Little did I know that college algebra would turn out to be too easy for me. I ended up dropping that class and took only English 102 in the spring. It was a good thing I took those two English classes before going on to graduate a year early and begin college full time. I am certain I would have been overwhelmed if it were not for my early college experience.   That brings us to date where I'm about to go into my junior year as a business major at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina.  Please click on over and read my articles or purchase them in e-book form A Practical Guide to College Preparation for Homeschoolers.
