I’d just like to thank everyone for their input and help in this matter. My parents and I have discussed college and they will be allowing me to apply ED and EA but I will also be applying to some other schools that weren’t on my list where I can get some sort of merit aid for. I have a lot of work ahead of me to show my parents that I have the maturity and ability to do well in college, but I’m just going to take it one step at a time. Thank you again everyone!
