I wanna go to tuskegee soooo bad!! and she knows that but she told me 2nite that she know that i really wanna go there but i should just go to grambling because ill be alone in alabama and in Louisiana ill have fam. Then when i tried to plead my case she didnt want to here it. I just understand how she can do that. She been telling me for the last 2 weeks that i better find sum money to go there or i cant go.

In my own opinion you should do what makes you feel better. It's not like she's going to school, even if you come to the GREATEST hbcu in the world like she wants you to. College is about growth and stepping out of your safe zone. You won't perform well if you're absolutely miserable. It sounds like she doesn't feel like you're capable of being independent because of the family thing. So what you need to do is go out and keep applying for scholarships, loans, etc. Get the grades prove her wrong, but do it quietly, show her your maturity, that you can survive. Good luck buttercup!!!!

DeAnna...do what will make YOU happy. Don't always do what your mom wants you to do. She CANNOT live your life for you. Alabama is only five hours from Louisiana, so you can always come visit your fam in DA BOOT. Don't give up on your dream!!! Keep it alive. Still apply for Tuskegee...you neva know how your mom will feel later...
