Stories by and including homeschooled students dominated the "Top Ten" of 2008 in the Burlington Times-News "Teens & 20s" feature in 2008. Sarah Osburne, a homeschooled student, wrote the number one story, "Trading Spaces: Exchange students travel overseas for a unique learning experience"; she also wrote stories on pets for cancer patients, urban farming, and caring for an abused horse.
Sarah Troxler, another homeschooler, wrote stories on summer exercise programs for teenagers and playing on travelling softball teams. Kristian Whitesell wrote about her family's visit to the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
In all, seven of the top ten youth stories this year were written by homeschoolers, and an eighth story involved several of the authors as subjects.
