[color=#FFA500]Here is the general background...
My girlfriend and I have been going out for two terrific years. I am 16, finishing up my sophomore year currently, while she is 15, finishing freshman year. Yes, it is early, but I start looking into the whole college grind next year and she and I both have our concerns. We are both athletes, but for me it is only a high school thing, I do not wish to go to college on wrestling but rather on academics. She is the other way around, nationally ranked in track and soccer, she is going to be using them to push her along. Now it may have been easier if she was older. She is going to be choosing her college based on scholarships. Likelyhood of the school I choose to be the same one that offers her a scholarship is very unlikely.

Question:
Is there any way that she and I will be able to pull this off? We for sure both want to stay together. My parents did not go to college and believe that I must gopecially because I have a very good oppurtitunity, I do not have it bad thankfully. The chance of them letting me transfer just my second year is more than 'iffy.' My only thought so far has been to propose to her before I go to college. Yes, were young, but maybe the fact of being engaged would help us so much more and prove to everyone were staying together. Any other suggestions out there? Or maybe some words of wisdom or advise from those who have gone through this process succesfully.

Thank you for the help,
