<p>I go to USMMA but I felt I’d offer my 2 cents about it. </p>
<p>First off…my parents wouldn’t let me go along, I live close enough to school where it wasn’t a big deal money wise…and as far as they were concerned they weren’t going to miss it!</p>
<p>Second…I’m not gonna lie, I might have had a look on my face like “I got this” but I was probably crapping my pants, it’s good to have your parents there. </p>
<p>Lastly, at USMMA you can say good-bye to your parents for as long as you want kinda…but once you are in that gymnasium you won’t see them again at all until parents weekend. There is a point before lunch muster on the first day when we all turned and waived good-bye but I don’t know if I was waving at my parents or not…but I was waving at somebody!</p>
