I've been swamped, sorry; I meant to respond yesterday. I was going to say that while your options aren't great, they aren't terrible. A thousand dollars isn't the end of the world. I guess it depends on the parents, but if they've already offered to pay your college they seem supportive. Supportive parents pick you up when you fail. You seem pretty level-headed about it; no excuses.

So that's small-scale, and larger scale I really do understand what you mean about needing a mentor. If you don't have an older brother, there's no one to turn to for real mentoring at our age. You can't just go find someone to fill that need. It's tough. I feel ya.
