I am 19 years old, I have lived in a small town all of my life that is 6 hours away from NYC. My life long dream has always been to live there. I know some friends who live there and I love everything about it. I have 3 semesters of college education and I am planning on being a certified Nanny so I can be a Nanny in the city, or working a full-time job as a waitress. The problem is, I am the youngest in my family and my parents are protective and quite strict. I do not believe in myself very much and I feel that my parents will try to talk me out of moving and hold me back from living in nyc. I think they wll think I am too immature and stupid to live 6 hours away in a big city. I need help, this is what I want to do and I have wasted too much time here. How can a small town girl move to NYC? What do I need to know and look for? I am confused and torn and I am afraid to tell my parents what I want to do because I fear they will discourage me and NOT support me. Please give advice!
