wow, i dont remember crying about it...i dont think i even asked anyone for a tissue and if i won the lottery tomorrow...they would definetly say go to Europe over doing your AFF. and just to say...the first time i went to europe..i payed for it, because it was something that i wanted....so theres sort of a trend. im just having a hard time dealing w. doing something that i know they dont like....sure.. if you knew that your mom and dad would jump with you if they could take off work would make it SOOO much easier...but since its somethign that i know they wouldnt do on their deathbed...it kinnnnda makes it hard for me they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

thanks man....you hit the nail on the head they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

true, very true...and i used to be on a bowling league..i swear to you but anyway....its the $ issue to...sure id have to practically starve and not have a life like i did last year to make it work...but for that 5 min of bliss its worth it. its jsut hard to swallow i guess for them that evertying they make goes for my education...while everything i make goes towards everything else for me, and now this. why doesnt everyone chill out, and go for a jump..its a beautiful morning they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

man you guys get pretty reved up for someone you dont know.....crazy kids but ya, i do work full time all summer so that i dont have to work full time while at school...but i still do work @ school. i pay for my house @ school, all utilities, books, all other expenses...gas, my car etc. bottom line: all im saying is that i just wish they could say "we know you work hard all year, and we are proud of your determination to be in the profession you are going to school for, and we know you have your priorities in order...just be careful w. your $$, and have fun...we love you either way" and i know my mom and dad....thats probably what they would say about ANYTHING Else...but this isnt jsut anything else.....and i dont have to tell you what it is. and if someone told me that if i jumped one more time that i could never be what i wanna be...then i wouldnt think twice about throwing in the towel. you can stop battleing...alll i was looking for were stories of how you guys delt w. your parents...i didnt ask for a lecture...if i wanted one, i think i know who id go to they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

i totally hear you on this one. and believe me, i have friends who are still paying their college life off...10 yrs later. they paid for my sisters full 4 years..and she only had like 2 grand to pay off total. so i know what its like to scarifice for your children, i watched them do it once, and im watching them do it again. im just more or less dissapointed that they arnt recognizing my gratitude...and arnt offering their support. they know that i know what i have to get done while im at school....im not stupid, i know what priorites are..but its like they arnt recognizing how well they raised me. oh well....it will work out..it always does they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

so after 2 tandems, and letting my parents know that when i go back to school, id like to start my training in the poconos...not telling them specifically when, but just throwing it out there...trying to be a nice daughter and let them know what im up to...here are their responses: dad: with a pissed off look on his face, "how do you plan on paying for it while your mother and I are paying for school for you?". he explains that hes not mad at me for wanting to skydive in the first place, or for going, and hes not mad at his skydiving friend who took me and my friend that weekend, so i said to him, "but can you blame me for experiencing something new, and falling in love with it {regardless of it being skydiving, vs. sticker collecting}..and he said no. he basically siad he is jsut scared bc people can die, and its jsut too much on the edge for him. mom: after she got home for NC last night, and she siad "so dad told me u jumped again,,,,whered ya get the $$$?....AND "that was your last time..you're a poor college student and this isnt fair to your father and me to put us thru this, and to waste $$ u dont have" ok fine, i realize that they are working their asses off so that i wont have any loans to pay off when i graduate...but how do i explain that im not trying to be ruthless and selfish?...im just wanting to do someting that I can not go 10 minutes with out it popping up in my mind?? how did you guys handle your parents when you started skydiving? they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

if anyone knew sara, and could give me her moms address that would be great...i spoke to Mrs. Loshe on the phone about 2 weeks ago, and told her that i met sara before my 1st tandem, and i lost her address and wanted to send a card. if you want to message me that is fine too, so that it is kept private. thanks they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85

i always dreamed of growing up, going to college, hating beer but loving my liquor, being a smartass, but a hard worker, always attracting the asshole guys who wouldnt recognize a girl worth keeping around if she kicked him where the sun dont shine, to be a cute chick with determination, heart and desire.... oh wait, all that did come true...booya no but seriously, i wanted to be a dolphin trainer...but im going to be a speech-language pathologist instead... later kids they may have given me life but skydiving gives me breath ..katie.. http://community.webshots.com/user/goalie85
