hanna, i think that there are some really great avice here for you.

Some training centers will not let you use a dog while in the classes,
they will make you leave it in your room. If the classes are important
enough that you think you should take them to be secsessfull in life,
then go for the training classes. But do understand that I think you
are a verry smart young lady and might not need to take sutch classes.
Are your parents whilling to let you learn to cook on your own with
little help from them?Like will they let you help out with making
dinner? and technology is very easy to learn on your own. just jump in
and play with the computer. I tought myself, with help from friends,
most of what I know. and I took a computer class in college and did
not learn hardly anything on using the computer. LOL

Getting a poodle also seems to be a very important thing for you. You
have menchened this a few times to me and on this email. This is a one
time chance for you. You might not get another chance to get another
poodle . If you go to gebs and get a dog, then when it is time to get
another one, you might not be able to get a poodle then either.

Who knows.

You are not forced to stay in the classes you are already inroled.
Just let them know things that you were not awear would happen so
quickly has come up and you may not be able to take that offer up
again later on. So you are dropping the courses and going to get a
dog.

Going back to the beginning.
If you think that taking these training classes are the only way and
most important way of getting a job, then go for it.  But are you not
applying for colege? You will learn a lot on how to use the computer
while taking your classes. You will only need to know, at first, how
to open a file, wright, edit, save print. Oh and emailing and copying
files back and forth from thumb drive to computer, and eamiling
attachments.

HTH
Best of luck whatever you choose.
Talk with your parents and, if you do, pray about it too.
