I got choosen to be an extra in a FEATURE FILM! I was so excited about it, because I live in Connecticut, so I don't really have the oppurtunity to participate in real movies, until now. However I don't know what to do because the day I am called for to be an extra is this upcoming Saturday. On Sunday I am going to New Jersey for the day, for a family party. The Thursday of the next week finals in my school start, as well. No that I have all of this going on, my parents are telling me that they do not think it is a good idea for me to do this movie. The movie location is an hour drive from my house, and it films from 8 in the morning until around dinner time. I just don't know what to do, because my parents say that ultimatley it is my deceision, but they don't think it's right with finals coming up, & me not being home all weekend (plus i have drivers ed all this week). I really want to do this though, because I have never had the experience before, and I don't know if an opputunity like it will ever come again! WHAT SHOULD I DO??
Additional info, added Monday June 6 2005, 4:08 pm: By the way, my mom keeps telling me she has thought long & hard, and does not think it is a good idea, but it is still my choice. The way she says it makes me feel guilty, because I know she doesn't want me to, and I also feel bad because it is an hour away, which takes up her whole Saturday because she has to go there & back & there & back to pick me up. I just am so confused! Oh & I already told my friends about it, so I feel stupid telling them I am not (but that's not my main worry).. Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category? Maybe give some free advice about: Music? kait_1991 answered Sunday June 19 2005, 10:52 am: listen parents do that to make you go with their choice but this is like a 1s and a lifetime op so i would go to it and explain to your parent how much this would mean to you and how grateful you would be

Shes trying to tell you to say no, but it really is your decision, and i think you should do it. Have fun. [ Mandalove's advice column | Ask Mandalove A Question ]

Besides if you dont and someone else does and they get a lucky break you will have major regrets....But if you cant handle it, dont deprive yourself an education. I would go for it but thats me and i have luck killer grades and never study but if you arent like me i would seriously look into it.

Take Care =) x3 SweetStar. [ SweetStarx89's advice column | Ask SweetStarx89 A Question ]
