Peru this Summer?

Question

I've been offered a chance to go to Peru this summer, for 3 weeks with a bunch of college students,that my mom's best friend is taking.She offered me to go.

But I'm 17 years old, and I would love to go ,and my parents are offering to pay for it.

But it's a lot of money, and I I feel guilty having them pay for it.

Because they're still paying for my sister's college courses.They say they can afford it, and If i really want to go, they'll send me.

But I leave before my father comes home for a month from Iraq, and when I return from Peru, I'll only have 2 weeks to see him, and not a month.

I'll miss my best friend's birthday and I'll miss my school's exams, unless i take it early.

What would you do, if you have been offered to go to Peru for 3 weeks?

I'm unsure, I would love to go, but I feel like I don't deserve it.

My parent's say I do, but I just have doubts.

Answer 1

Go, but try and help out with a money, get a job or something then you won't have to feel guilty

im sure your dad would want you to go, and you still get to see him for 2 weeks, maybe buy him a present for him to get when he returns back to the house.

Good luck to your dad in Iraq

Answer 2

If you pass this chance up you may never get another everybody including your parents will know that. Take this chance while it presents itself it is a beautiful country to visit, I went and I saw some really incredible sights.

Answer 3

Put it this way, you'll learn a foreign language and culture. Plus it may count as credit for college. I mean if my parents would to pay for everything in this travel, i'd definetely go. It might be a chance in a lifetime, and since you're pretty young, take it! If you miss your best friends' birthday for a year, i do not think she'll get that mad. I think she'll understand.
