I would let you go as long as I knew there were responsible adults who would be going with you and you were guaranteed to always be in their care. Better yet I would go with you. Who wouldn't love to Italy and Spain. It isn't something I would ever make my child miss out on if they could go.

I went to France when I was in Middle School and my parents didn't have a problem with it. I was a good kid with good grades who didn't get into any trouble, though, so they didn't need to worry about me doing something bad. I was with the school teacher and a number of chaperones, so we had plenty of supervision. Don't know what you could say to convince your mom. It really all depends on how comfortable she is. Italy/Spain is a long ways away!
3 :
Well first of all, there will be supervision if you are going with your class so tell her that. Also tell her that it may be an experience that you may never get the chance to have again. Tell her that its something you really really want to do. Also, you should reassure your mom that nothing bad will happen, and that you will be responsible.
4 :
You should go because it might be the only opportunity you have to go to Europe in the forseeable future. You will be with a group of friends and safely chaperoned by teachers and parents.. It will be cheaper than ever going there on your own because these groups know how to obtain discounts. The activities will be scheduled by people who have been there before and know the great places. The trip will give your self-confidence a terrific boost. You will be old enough to behave yourself and not do anything foolish. You can practice Spanish in the actual country where it originated. Having a second language is a wonderful career boost for your future. How's that?
5 :
I'm sure that if it's a school planned trip that it should be safe. I'm assuming it's going to be chaperoned and they will have limits as to where you're going to be allowed to wander off to. It can be dangerous for Americans in other countries, especially tourists who are unfamiliar with the area and most likely not fluent speakers of Italian and Spanish. I also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to see another country and expereince it's culture at some point in their lives. If you are mature enough to appreciate the visit abroad, then Europe is a good place to start.
6 :
that's unfair. 16 is old enough to go to a different country, even 13 is. Tell her that your teachers will be there

im a freshman in high school too. my mom let me go to spain (spanish exchange program) on your trip, teachers are also going too right? i stayed for about a week, and it was AWSOME!!! i had so much fun, and my spanish has gotten 100% better. show her, not tell her. think of ideas that you think might impress your mom that you are responsible enough to go. But she might not be letting you go because the cost of the trip? (i payed half of my plane ticket and ect. with babysitting money) Or she might just miss you too much. (i got tackled with hugs when i got back ^_^)

Go to school and open my own fashion store in Chicago

Go to school and open my own fashion store in Chicago?
I will go to Chicago College, Columbia to start fashion design this summer. I want to have my own fashion store, but I am afraid that I have debt from school, so how can I borrow more money to open the store? My fashion styles are hip and funky but still elegant and wearable. How can I start for networking or find a facotry in China, India or Italy

opening a store is more of an after college thing. becuase going to school and working would be a lot on your hands. i recommend finishing college and then opening a store where you can fully dedicate your time to
2 :
OMG that is sooooooo cool! yay! i will so go and visit your store email me and tell me what you will name it haha i didnt help you but AHHHHHH thats so cooL!
3 :
Your college will provide business and fashion merchandising classes and your instructors will share their knowledge of the fashion business. If you ever want couture millinery for your store, contact me. I make fabulous hats.
4 :
You have to go to different banks and ask them about their 'buisness loans.' Apply for the loan which has the lowest interest rate. I'd suggest you try Chase and Bank of America first. On the other hand, the benefit of being in school enables you to apply for 'student loans'; these are loans which you can apply for and do not need to start paying off until 6 months after you are out of school. However, unlike business loans which enable you to apply for a large amount, some banks allow you to only apply up to a certain amount for student loans. If you wanted to go with the student loan idea, and they are only able to give you a certain amount, take that student loan and search another bank for student loans in order to pay for the rest of your fashion store.

I'd tell you to wait until you turned 18 or even 20 maybe to come to college in the US because right now you're a bit too young. Unless of course your parents are going to let you come to the US on your own. Then if that's the thing, sure. You can come here, maybe move in with a relative, enroll in a high school and do your best there. Once you're out of high school you can enroll in a college (of your choice) and go from there. Good luck! (:
2 :
How long are you planning on studying in the US? A semester? A year? You could look up student exchange program websites where families take in foreign students and allow them to have a full on cultural immersion. You could live a life as an American for a while, the length of time depends on how long your agreement is between yourself and the American family.

P.S. I love italy, I went to Amalfi a couple weeks ago. It was absolutely beautiful!

What are some interesting facts about the Pantheon in Rome, Italy

"Only in a city such as Rome could the Pantheon be considered quaint. Found in a city containing hundreds of opportunities to view overwhelming ruins, the Roman Pantheon slips dreamily into the landscape. Of all the great buildings constructed during the crest of the Roman Empire, only this one still stands. Seemingly impervious to time or destruction, the walls and dome of the Roman Pantheon rise from Piazza della Rotonda, and bath the square in a warm, protecting light."

The Pantheon (= the temple of all gods) was a pagan temple built by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD and stands at the spot where legend has it that an eagle took the dead Romulus (founder of Rome) and took him to heaven as a god among gods. In the seventh century was converted into a church under the name "Santa Maria ad Martyres". For this reason it is the only building of ancient Rome to be come down to us practically intact. The dome has a diameter of 43.44 meters and this is the largest masonry dome in the entire history of architecture. There is a moat around the Pantheon. A curious Roman legend tells that a great magician named Pietro Bailardowho had used the services of the devil, at the end of his life he decided to repent and came to Rome to confess and take the Eucharist. But when he went outside the Pantheon he found the devil waiting for him to get what was due, then the magician threw nuts to the devil and ran back into the Pantheon. To anger the devil caught fire and sank to the underworld leave a moat around the church. According to others the devil before sinking nervously began to turn around the Pantheon, a long time to form a groove. Some of the Kings of Italy (from the unification of Italy until the end of World War II, Italy was a monarchy) are buried in the Pantheon.

panteon is a greek temple with a dome, I visited it last week, it's a shabby building in the city center, not very interesting, around it you can find better attractions!!!
5 :
Pantheon was builded in roman era ,it has 2000 years of story. actually it's a monumenti that houses the toombs members of italian monarchy (Savoia family).
6 :
Nobody has said yet: - it has no windows, light comes in from a circular hole in the centre of the ceiling (obviously when it rains the inside gets wet) - its dome is the most ancient still standing in the world (it is perfectly preserved since 2,000 years ago) - the painter Raphael is also buried there
