As the parent of a succesful homeschool graduate, I would suggest that inclination combined with motivation and commitment will lead to success in homeschooling.
Our son is at a very old, prestigious, private college on academic scholarship. He was president of the local chapter of the homeschool honor society, paged for the governor and general assembly in our state capital and was governor at Boy's State. He was an excellent student who received numerous awards at the diocesan level in our church, in the community and beyond. He applied to 4 colleges, was accepted at all with scholarship offers. He is doing well in college, a double major and is active in numerous organizations in leadership positions. I don't have a teaching degree, pulled together my own curriculum, even writing some of it myself and we did a great job. Our daughter is now homeschooling her little girl.
Good for him, I mean that...but you know what prominent recent politician was also a governor at Boy's State though, don't you?

Seeing your state flag, I trust perhaps Emory, Ga. Tech, maybe Ga. State...but, please don't tell me that school in Athens where "How 'bout them Dawgs!" rings in your ears and you're abused by inhospitable, barking and drunken rednecks attired in read and black and hollering "Dawg Meat!" if you dare enter 'tween the hedges in an opponents colors. I got beer poured on me, and I was spat upon and generally had my life threatened there in the 1970s, whew, and I thought Philadelphia Veterans Stadium was bad--it was like a 4-star hotel compared to Sanford Stadium!
