USA Bus Lines

Do you think my mom would let me go?

I'm a freshman in high school. This summer from May 31 to July 3 my schools band and orchestra are going to San Antonio. Im in the band. I really want to go. Because I wont be able to go on the Rome trip next year. The cost is only $400 and we are going to have a lot of parents with us. We are riding charter buses. Its actually cheap for what were doing. On the paper it says "Some of the things on our initerary are: IMAX, Alamo, Riverwalk, Market Square, Dinner at a mexican restaurant, Sea World, River Cruise, Schlitterbahn" I probably wont have to pay for Sea World because my friend has a pass that I can use. We are finacially stable. Excapt for the 1st week of every month when ALL bills are due. So money isnt a problem. I wont be allowed to share a room with males so that not a problem either. My mom trusts me because she was gonna let me go to Falls Creek with a lot of people i dont know. ( A LOT of teens get pregnant there though its a church camp) I also have relatives out near Sant Antonio so she will be able to "have and eye on me" Payment days are: $200 due by April 8th, $100 more due by April 29th, and whatever amount is left by May 20th. If you were my mom would you let me go?

1. yes because you will not be able to go to rome!
2. I would require you to earn at least 10% of that from part time work. It would be a great trip! Good Luck.
3. We are financially stable too, but an extra expense of $400 would tend to de-stabilize things for a while. It may not be a matter of letting you go as much as it is a matter of being able to afford it. Going back to the issue of letting you go; What have you done to deserve this? Conversely, What have you done that you should not be given extra privilege? My children were not given such things, they had to be earned.
4. Work up the parent chaperon angle. If you can afford it that should be the only worry. Otherwise start doing stuff around the house and being really helpful. It'll prove that you want it and are willing to work for it.
