My Bio: Linnea Snow Puckett
My name Linnea (pronounced la-nay-ya) was gifted to me when I was six years old after I was adopted into my beautiful family. My mom and dad had two kids of their own and then adopted not only me but also 9 other siblings. Because of this I grew up in a large household with many diverse siblings and many diverse needs. My mom was an advocate for homeschooling, especially her special needs kids. I was homeschooling up until college. It is because my experience in my childhood that I have become an advocate for education and dream of advocacy for children who are just like me to have a fair chance in public schools.
