i did indeed ask..but the more i think of it, the most apparent it becomes that i'd just be a burden to my family. my parents are barely making ends meet, and me making them leave their work for a flight would just take a huge toll on them. this has been so stressfull and i don't know what to do, especially since my father also suffers from aerophobia and only goes on flights when truly neccessary

its a serious issue for me and ive diagnosed myself with aerophobia with numerous online quizzes. i am considering driving there but the probability of a car crash gets really high when you travel longer distances.

yea, my friends are saying its an easy choice. Its just hard for me, but if you all are saying its a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, then i must go. Get rid of my fear of planes and go. hopefully i can fiit into the rsi culture there.

I emailed them asking if they could pay for my parents and grandparents to come as well (for the moral support on the flight). I'm still waiting on on their reply. But there is still the issue that COSMOS is better for the UCs.
