Can you help out Sammy12? She needs some guidance from the collective wisdom here.

I know that I am always on here needing help and I apologize. I'm a 16 year old that is just getting started.

My problem is I had a meeting with the mayor and he called me a couple days later and told me that its not something the board can just agree on. He said that they want to put a pool a skatepark and a playground there and I'm another person that has an idea. He said that he was going to put me on a committee and someone would call me.

The problem is I don't think anyone would listen to what i want to do. They think its way to much money fo me to afford and raise. I know that I can do this. Is it time for me to take it to the news and papers or do I go along with the committee? I don't want to sound selfish or anything but I don't want anyone to take the idea i have been working on for almost a year now and it seems like I am getting no where. I would really really like some help. Thank You

Sammy,

Have you thought about getting a group or an organization to support you?  Maybe a local civic group or non-profit whose name you can thrown around when talking to the mayor.  As sad as it is, the mayor may be more likely to listen if he knows some of his voting consituency are behind your project... 

Hope this helps!
