Life has compromises, and one has to consider both one's personal needs, as well as one's family's needs. And, they may have differences.
In this case, my niece has applied to the Youth Corps. But, due to her age, they only have a day program available. Her family is going through a rough patch, and I think this will be a good opportunity for her. And, because of the day program, it is only available here, not in her home town.
In future years, she should qualify for the overnight program, and could be dropped off anywhere (and should also be able to drive herself some as needed).
But, this will also get her out of the house, and some independence.
I also anticipate this to be a short-term need this summer, of a few months, then I'll get back to riding as soon as it starts raining again.
