I have just lost my job and, while my daughter (a rising junior) has just picked up a job at a fast food store to help contribute to expenses (household and otherwise), we will not be able to finish the showcase season (traveling will just be too cost prohibitive). (Unlike my daughter, I cannot find work at our local fast food or department stores.)
She participated at the Pennsbury Academic camp (she is first in her class, with great SAT scores and taking all high level honors and AP classes) and got some interest from coaches, who might be looking to see her in action in some later showcases.
Will a coach understand this dilemma? And what should she say? It's a rough situation for everyone. Her team is aware of the situation and her missing there is not an issue for them; they understand.
Any advice is appreciated.
