<p>This past school year I spent a significant amount of time planning out a comedy based group for my high school. I am very interested in comedy as a pastime, and I know I have many friends who have an interest in it as well. We enjoy making videos, writing stories, and even reading books about why it exists and what it is. I am probably the most deeply interested in it of the group, and I thought it would be fun to make an official club at my high school for it. That way, we could meet others who enjoy working with comedic material, and maybe make a youtube channel and write sketches together for local theater playhouses, etc. I pre-planned it, and understand the whole process it requires (principle approval, school board approval, writing up a constitution, etc.). There is even a teacher I have spent much time with discussing this with at my school, who is a stand-up comic who competes at regional contests. I talked to a principle (who severely intimidated me) about this, and I was asked if it would raise money/cost money (which makes sense as a big issue). I submitted an official application, and I determined that it would cost no money whatsoever, myself supplying props and a camera, all of my "potential members" offering to bring snacks, props, paper, etc. (I had about 9 or 10 people offering to join immediately once i checked around), and the teacher offered to work as a volunteer advisor for the group My problem is that it won't get approved, and I don't fully know why. I have asked the principle multiple times in polite e-mails and stopping by her office, but she always is vague and tells me to ask later. I will be a senior next year, and I would really like to make this before I go, but it won't get approved. I know my school is making huge budget cuts, and is laying off teachers and cutting classes, but I'm not sure if this would affect a "no cost" group. Is there something I'm missing? Any advice on what I could do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>She may just be busy so continue asking and this time don’t leave without a answer, tell her it’s urgent and for college. Make sure you start by telling her it’s cost-free.</p>
