Sweety I feel your pain. But number one, is this trip designed for students your age. Overall, i admire your ambition!! More so, have you asked your parents for financial help, other family members, your church, and school? That would be a start. If you don't ask you will never recieve! The sponsor of the trip-should be able to advise you. Goodluck and never give Up, even if that means going on the next trip instead! :)

How about dog-walking? Lots of people want their dogs walked while they're at work and you could do it after school. Can I also suggest that if you love Italy so much, you think about a different way of doing it, like a programme for students to live and study in Italy? Have a look at this website : http://www.gseabroad.com which offers a whole package for young students like you who want to study abroad, for anything from a month to a year. It offers a really good level of student support for you and, importantly, for your parents as well so that they won't be as worried about you living alone in a foreign country. You may be a little young for it yet, but start planning now! Also have a look at this website to start learning some Italian, which will help you whenever you do get to Italy : http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/italian - it's free and a very good way to start. Also, have a look at : http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/Pen-pals/Language/Italian.asp which is a site that puts people of different nationalities together based on age, gender and interests. I've used this and found some really lovely Italian friends. If you do make a friendship with someone your age, they may be interested in coming to the US and in return, you would go to Italy to stay with their family for a while. It's the way I started and it's a great way to see the true country. I love your enthusiasm - use your imagination, keep your enthusiasm, and you will get there!
