My mom wants to sell my old clarinet, but does not want to let me get any of the money. What should I do?

Yeah! If you have an R13, then you're pretty much set for the rest of your playing career. I'm sure you feel that your R13 performs much better than your previous clarinet, and I totally understand the sentimental attachment.

But if going to another country is what you really want to do, I'd say to go for it!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
