COLLEGE......MOM
Hi im a 16 year old female. And I want to go to Spelman University. Im a high school senior graduating in June. But the problem is I live in Virginia, and my mother wants me to go to an all girl college, but she wants me to stay in Virginia, really Richmond cuz thats where we live. But I've already gotten my hopes up on Spelman, Ive been wanting to go there for so long. My question is how can I convice her to let me go.

Well, you don't even know if you've gotten in yet.
So ask this question when you've been accepted to Spelman. That's the better time to discuss whether or not your mom can let you go to college elsewhere.
Things change over time. You might find another University you're interested in by the time you're a junior or senior in high school.

Moms can have difficulty letting their kids
grow up and leave the nest! I think you should
apply to all colleges you are interested in.
If they accept you, then you can deal with
mom.
The best thing you can do now to help your case
is to act maturely. If you work, put aside some
money for school. Don't spend a lot of time
partying. Act as much like a responsible adult
as you can.
I guess what I am trying to say is this.
Don't give mom any excuse for saying no!
Don't let her worry that you can't spend
money wisely without her help. Don't let
her worry that shes sending you away to
college where you will be out partying
every night. She will miss you for sure,
but that isn't really a good enough reason. :)
