FreeSpirit74: Yes, I really appreciate you talking to me, but the truth is, that I WILL do it regardless, but I am trying to get my parents to aprove, and I think I have got my dad where he is okay with it (I have trouble knowing because he had a stroke when I was seven, almost eight, so he has trouble talking), and my mom is really proud of the fact that I want to go to West Point, she just doesn't know that there is an Army commitment. And like I said, she is going to find that out soon regardless of whether or not I tell her. My friend's dad asked my mom if I have a death wish. And she is telling EVERYONE, and people ask me about what I want to do a lot, because we are at a new church, and I am in almost all new settings, so that is the kind of thing that people ask me a lot, so I have a huge oppurtunity to talk about it, and I love doing it. And my mom knows that West Point has a huge connection as far as the Army goes. It was her suggestion that I buy this Army bracelet the day before yesterday at a craft show. I am just having trouble telling her that I am going to be making a twelve year commitment, starting when I am seventeen, but making the commitment when I am sixteen. I mean, she says now, that is two years away, how can you know what college you are going too at sixteen. So how is she going to take it that I am going to be making a 12 year commitment (including West Point) when I am sixteen? That is what I am most worried about.God Bless,Ashleigh
