MY DAUGHTER IS 16 YRS OLD & I'M WORRY JUST THINKING THAT SHE'S GOING ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON BY HERSELF WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA

She should be fine right? I mean i'm 15 and i'm flying from Texas to D.C. alone with stopovers along the way.

Hey, Im going from Texas too, where in Texas and what session? Also about your daughter, she'll be fine, I have flown lots of times by myself and the flight attendants will take real good care of her, and if its a direct flight, then its even easier.

I'm from Dallas TX, and I'm going to the second session i think October 6th through the 11th. What about you?

i am also going the 6-11!!!
and this is my first time flying by myself, i am really nervous!

I'm from Fort Worth, but im going on the first session.

well hoe does your daughter feel about flying in general im going oct 6 to 11 i cant say i know how she feels im from jersey so my parents are driving me to d.c because im scared to fly by myself

I've flown by myself alot before, its not that bad especially if you have no stopovers and the nylf guys will be waiting at the airport for us. Its pretty much like riding a bus or train but for a few hours.

i'm so glad i found people who are going on the same dates as me, i was worried i wouldn't know anybody before i got there!

I know!!Me too! I'm gonna miss 4 days of school for this.

Well California being the big state it is she is bound to find other attendees at the airport

Anyways flying alone is no big deal at all

i haven't ever thought about school, but tour right... i'm going to miss 4 days, too!
i hope i can get out a test or two, lol!

Considering all the AP classes I'm taking next year as a junior, I'm sure that I will get out of a couple of tests and essays.

same here!!

Knowing my teachers, they'll probably give me the makeup-work before I leave so I can do it. Frustrating

im sure i can talk my way out of the make-up work... hopefully! lol

LUCKY!!!!

I can care less about making up work right now hehe (Senioritis I guess)

i cant wait until im a senior... but i am loving high school, its going by way too fast. im gonna be in tenth.


Do you like your school? are you in any clubs or sports?
