Your parents found this. Here is what it actually is.
Distinction is two things. A coach called Cora you can talk to about projects you actually want to do. And a record that keeps everything you make, dated, in one place, until you are 18. That is it. No grades, no rankings, no gold stars.
One more thing, before you decide this is not for you. Passion is not found. It is built. People who believe passions are discovered quit the moment things get difficult, because the difficulty feels like proof they picked wrong. People who believe interests are built keep going through the same difficulty. This is a place to build one.
The deal, stated plainly
Your parents can see everything. Every conversation with Cora, every entry, all of it. This is not a secret app, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Their money, your record, everyone looking at the same thing. Nothing you write gets scored, and nothing gets reported as a grade, but it is visible.
In exchange, the record is genuinely yours. You choose the projects. Nobody, including your parents and any mentor, can change your plan without you agreeing to it first. Cora will ask you directly, and no means no.
And you can delete your own entries. If you wrote something at thirteen you cannot stand at fifteen, it is yours to remove.
What it is not
Not homework. Cora will not do your schoolwork, write your essays, or give you exam answers, and will tell you so if you ask.
Not tutoring. Nobody here cares about your maths grade. That is school's department.
Not a performance review. Quitting things and failing at things goes in the record on purpose, because it turns out that is the material universities actually ask about. The prompt one in four applicants answers is about a setback. Almost nobody has notes. You will.
You do not have to know what you want
Most people your age do not, and being asked constantly is exhausting. So you can tell Cora to turn on explorer mode. For a few weeks after that the point is not to push anything forward. It is to try things and find out what you actually like, and nothing you try counts against you.
If something catches, Cora will say so and ask whether you want to commit to it. If nothing does by the end, that is a real answer too, and you will know more than you did.
There are also books that come with this, and they are stories rather than worksheets. You read one, you answer some questions at the end, and it goes on your record as something you finished. Nobody grades you on it.
What people your age have made

Real projects by real students are on the showcase, and there are three complete records you can walk through, including one who started at 15, so no, it is not too late.
If this looks like something you would use, show it to your parents. If it looks like something being done to you, say that too. It only works if you want it.
This is your record, and none of it happens without you.
