I'm a spoiled brat. I really am. I could care less about all that low income crap. I know it's bad but that's the truth and it's better to say the truth then to lie. It would be really hard to get me to go to this poor neighborhood in the middle of the projects and volunteer at this center. That is because I frankly don't give a crap. It doesn't affect me. My mother thinks the same way. She wouldn't go either. But I didn't say impossible. I said really hard. One of the ways you can get me to go is to tell me she will be there. I would go to a lot of places and do a lot of things if you told me she would be there. And although upon you asking me if I would go volunteer at some center in the middle of the projects I would give you a condescending, snobby glare (you really think I would stoop that low???), if it was totally up to me I would go to this particular event in a heartbeat. She asked me multiple times to go. She didn't get a lot of people to go, but knows I show up to almost every event she offers. So I guess she had some faith I would go. To top it all off some of her friends are going to be there. Her F R I E N D S. The thought of other people getting to meet her friends gives me FOMO on a level I didn't know existed. But then there's my mother. She knows me as the spoiled, high class kid I really am. She knows very well what I do and don't care about. She has NO interest in going anywhere near a neighborhood like that. Look, if I really really pushed it I could convince her to let me go. But I know I will have this lingering feeling of guilt knowing how much she doesn't want to take me there, knowing all the other things she'd rather be doing. And won't it be weird if a kid like me is out of the blue insisting on doing something I would have scoffed at any other time?? Won't she think that that is strange? But it's just one day. One day out of a whole lifetime of days. Another opportunity to bond with her. And her freaking friends. What should I do????? Please help me!!!!
