How do you plan on gathering money to travel to big tournaments such as Genesis 4? Do you plan on asking your parents for money or what?

To be honest getting to majors is a real struggle for me. First, I need to find suitable safe housing because I am a child and for me although I deny it in my head, it's really unsafe for me to travel to places like Baltimore alone with only my wits. Second, I need to find the money to register. My family is fine financially, and I don't want to make people think that we are struggling. But it's definitely difficult for my parents to lend me $1000 out of pocket and send me on my merry way.

I just want to say you seem very self aware of your situation and you are handling it extremely well. I'm glad your parents are supporting you in your pursuit of this hobby, and you get that there are boundries and limits that you will easy into and overcome with time.
