i am a junior in high school & i just got a job this past november, which i have had for about 21/2 months (it's at a candy store). i really enjoy it & since i am a junior i will be there until i graduate highschool. i am pretty sure (99.99%) i told the owners that i would be home in the summer to work & i am pretty sure that since i am a junior they expect me to be there. however i just heard about this amazing arts program (it's sleep away) at a college for people my age. it is pretty demanding, but i would LOVE to go for theatre. however, it's 5 weeks long...the end of june to the end of july. i don't know if i should even bother auditioning for it, because i think i am expected to work. i know i could just tell them at work that i am going away for 5 weeks & they can't do anything to stop me, but then they may not want me back after july. i want to keep my job for next year too, so i don't know what to do! what would you do in this situation? thanks!

i think that you should defintly take advantage of this programm and try it, maybe your meant to be the next picasso or valasquez. as for your job explain the situation and point out that (this doesnt have to be completely true) you may want a career in arts and this is a good opportunity. if they still dont want you when you come bac then try appling for a job at your school system, where i live for a 1 month job moving computers(not hard or too much liftin i promise) you get payed about 16 dollars an hour...way better than minimum wage! i hope it works out for ya and good luck with your art school.
hearts,
