Moving away from what I’ve been brought up to recognize as the truth isn’t easy- that much I’ve found out…
I’ve yet to approach my mum with the idea of me going to the US, dropping my Pre-Uni education and heading straight into a university in the US
The university in question is La Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico. It is in Puerto Rico, close to where my boyfriend lives, and my GCE ‘O’ level credit is enough to get me into a few courses… I’m looking at psychology
Thing is, although me and my boyfriend (and his mother) have figured out the stuff we need, ie visas and all, I still haven’t asked my mother about it. There’s been an iron wall between us now, for about a month or so, and it doesn’t look set to end anytime soon.
I’m going to be 17 in August, and hence I still need her permission if I wish to go overseas for further education. Also, I’d have to ask if she would consider paying for the trip and the first fees for the first few months if possible from the education fund that she already has been investing into. It was meant for me to further my education as far as it can go, but as it is my mother… meh. Weird characters, and I don’t exactly relish the thought of going to speak to her about it.
The school terms usually start in July, but I think for certain courses it starts in Oct, or around there.
We’re sorting out the load of information we have now, and I’m going to the Embassy in 2 days, to find out more. I pray that our plan succeeds- I don’t want to remain here, now that I’ve had the chance to fly.
