Kimm - I don’t know your entire situation but I know from experience that some families are reluctant to have girls move away from home. Another issue might be that your mother thinks that she honestly can’t afford the cost and is not knowledgeable about all the scholarships, grant, and loan possibilities especially for low income students. I would suggest that you have an honest discussion with your guidance counselor including your mothers position on these matters. At our highschool, the guidance department has Spanish language student/parent meetings specifically geared to adress the isssues that impede Latino girls from going away for college.
