I am 16 and a half at the moment and have found out through my school about this LaSallian project: when you go to Africa for 5 weeks to help african people build a new school, teach the children and help out in any way you can. They do not take you in places where there are current political and social problems which may cause dangerous wars, therefore, it is safe. I will be only 18, 4 weeks into the project next summer, but the organisation is allowing me to go. However, the one person that is extremely hard to convice is my mum. She is excessively apprehensive and worries too much. She is not hearing a word for it. I am a mature and responsible teenager and i know i will be able to handle it. She is going to use the fact that i wont be exactly 18 against me, which she has already done. I want this more than i've ever wanted anything in my whole life. This is an opportunity which only comes around once in your life, it is very important to me, so please, how can i make her see this?
