Freedom Summer Reins Late Spring Thesis

But to someone my age, the rodeo is just no longer a family thing; it's a friend thing, at least for me. After all, I don't ask to hang out with my friends on Thanksgiving, because that's a family thing and I understand that. My parents justified "supervising" me by saying that the rodeo was "too far" from home for me to be alone, but it is only a bit further than school and they let me make that trip "alone" at night all the time. Even if there are legitimate safety issues about being out "alone," they don't apply when I'm actually not "alone," but with all of my friends.

Their other concern was that "there's always alcohol at the rodeo," but there are also always cops walking around the whole place.

I won that game by keeping a straight face and looking them in the eyes.

Actually, I wish I could show my parents a video of us at the rodeo because that might be one of the only times that wouldn't further jeopardize my Summer freedom.
