School Instrument Rental Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

I grew up in a Christian house with emotionally abusive and physically abusive parents and older sibling.I tried so hard to be the perfect child. But I was hurting so deeply inside. I always wanted to run away or leave my house as soon as I possibly could, but I didn't know why. I thought I was to blame. I didn't know that it was my religion and my awful family that was causing this grief in my life.It wasn't until years later after a failed Christian marriage that I realized I was not a Christian and that my family and my beliefs were at the core of my life issues and pain.You are light years ahead of me at only 13!!!With that said:You're in an abusive (both physically and emotionally) environment. This is worthy of involvement of the proper authorities. Talk to your school counselor. Tell them what is going on. Reach out to teachers, friends parents, counselors and people YOU CAN TRUST to help you find the best path to take, so that you can stay safe. Note: It is not “Christian” to abuse your child or swear at them. Though I'm sure she would find a way to justify that behavior.Document her hitting you and swearing at you. Do you have a cell phone? Voice recorder? Video camera? Hide it and record / video her doing these things to you. Guard this with your life. And find people who really care and show it to them. Show the proper authorities. They will need this information to help you.You do not have to go to church! Get involved in the community. Start volunteering on the days she wants you to be at church. It will be great for a college application and who can argue with volunteer work? Though I am sure, if she is anything like my parents, she will find a way to make you feel bad for it. Stay strong.Check emancipation laws for your state. California: Emancipation - emancipation_famlaw_selfhelp You could get emacipated, though it is challenging.You seem like a smart kid with a good head on your shoulders and a kind heart. I just want to remind you that you have nothing to feel ashamed about or guilty for. Religion (Christianity) is exceptional at finding ways to make people feel guilty. You may “only” be 13, but you are so far ahead. You know yourself really well already. You know that what she is doing is wrong (and you're not just accepting it). And you're asking for help. That's awesome!!! But keep going. Keep asking for help!!!I met a girl in college that left her home at 14 and went to live with a friend’s family. Her friends mom became a mother to her and her friend became like a sister. That could be you. But they must be good and trustworthy people.Anything is possible for you. I know foster situations do not always pan out well, but sometimes they do! That is another option.Look at your age as an advantage. People care about kids!!! They care about their safety and well being. Not all people of course, but many. Use this to your advantage. You have to be the judge of who you can trust though. So try to really find the best people.If you can't find a way out before you're 18, then use the next 5 years to prepare:A (secret) plan of action.This is all about you and YOUR future, so take notes.Start making money. Get babysitting jobs. Yardwork. Pet sitting. Things that a 13 year old can do to make cash (safely!). When you get this money find a way to save it secretly. Make sure she never finds this money. This is your get out fast money. She has already established herself as untrustworthy. I have been lied to and stolen from from my parents. Try to not let this happen to you.Take a self defense class. As a female this is just good sense. Know how to defend yourself. Kung Fu. Jeet Kune Do. These are excellent forms to learn to defend yourself against attackers.If you like to swim: When you turn 15 you can become a lifeguard. In many states you can volunteer lifeguard at 15. Then at 16 you are a great candidate to be hired for the people you volunteered with. The YMCA has indoor pools open year round. Or you can find other health clubs. Bottom line: get hired by any company at 16 with a weekly or biweekly paycheck. Sales associate for a department store, etc.Have an education plan. Get the best grades that you possibly can. Now is your chance to show that you're a motivated and intelligent person. Study hard, study smart. This is your chance to truly set a foundation for your future.Volunteer. Volunteering for 250 or more hours will be a fantastic way to get colleges to look favorably on you when you apply.Get help from school counselors and your favorite teachers with your college applications have one of them write your letter of recommendation.Some states have a college in high school program. If you stick to your studies you can take a test to qualify and get FREE college education at a community college as young as 16. This also looks really good on future college applications. My friend got her AA degree from a community college at the same time as her high school diploma. That could be you!Try your best at valedictorian status. It's ok if you don't, but definitely make a go of it.Apply for college. You should start looking to find the best college for you at 16. Go to college fairs. By 17 you'll have a good idea of where you want to go. Make sure you send in your application on time so that you can start the fall after you graduate high school.And apply for dorm or apartment living, so that you can move out as soon as you're 18.Don't forget to apply for financial aid/financial hardship (as I'm sure she is unlikely to help with college without strings attached).From now until you're 18 you should be saving $$$ for you—for your future. Part of this money will be to get out of that home as soon as you're 18 and I'm sure the rest will go to a car, insurance, rent, gas, and college. Try to keep your money in cash and extremely safe.When you're 17 years and 11 months old without saying a word to your mother or other family members start packing your things discretely. Perhaps at night? Or when she is out of the house? You may need to wait until the weekend before you turn 18. When that weekend is here find a way to move all of your things out of your house and with a friend temporarily so that you can sign an apartment rental agreement at 18. UNLESS you're accepted to a University and have plans to move into college housing. You'll have to work out the details.After you have gone to college and gotten a better idea of who you are and what you want to do with your life you can take some time off and travel or whatever. Really enjoy yourself. Travel to Europe with friends or wherever.Also worth mentioning: because of the broken relationship with your mother you will need to find your own “family.” This can include friends or mentors, and they do not have to be biological family members. We need people in our lives that truly care about us with no agenda or strings. Unconditional positive regard is what you're aiming to find. In your teens and 20s relationships can come and go, some will last. Cherish those positive constants in your life. They will be your “family.”These are all things I wish I had done to escape the nightmare I was living in.Also try to keep your peace of mind. Find something you truly enjoy, an instrument, a form of exercise, meditation, art, some hobby—-something to help you keep your peace of mind. To help you stay calm and focused during this difficult time in your life. Keep it to yourself. It's your safe space to be you and express yourself. Enjoy.I know it's a bit more than you asked for, but this goes beyond your immediate situation. Think long term. And longterm possible outcomes.Something also worth mentioning is that you are a young woman. As a young woman your safety is top priority. While your situation with your mother may be awful… becareful about other living situations. This is primarily why I say only find trustworthy people to help you. But definitely find people (not just one person) to help you. These are your safety nets. Use them.I wish I could help you myself, but I am hoping that my past experiences, my thoughts on what I would do, and what I would have done differently will be enough.I wish you peace, joy, and safety.

When does it ever end?Did you have an agreement with your child before taking lessons? If you did then your child should finish the lessons as she agreed to do.I hold the opinion that children should be exposed to as many different experiences as reasonably possible; especially for those that pertain to the arts. In doing so, they will find out which experiences were motivated by plain fantasy and which experiences were genuinely fulfilling and worth pursuing further. When a child wants the glory of something, without the hard work, then it’s likely just a fantasy. The same notion applies to adults.I remember paying for instrument rental/purchase and music lessons for my children. At some point, someone changed his or her mind and wanted to try something else. In my son’s case, he went from the Cello to then keyboard then finally to acoustic guitar. I told him the guitar would be the last thing that I was willing pay for. Ten years later, he sings and plays acoustic guitar at least twice a week, in public and private settings. So, three times was a charm for him. On the other hand, my daughter stopped playing the trombone and didn’t pursue any other instrument; however, she is currently involved in background vocals and theatrical ensembles.While attending public school in the Midwest, I was given opportunities to learn to play the Euphonium , French horn, flute, and guitar. I stopped playing guitar after high school and I can no longer read sheet music; but I am grateful for the experiences.If you had an agreement with your child about when she could quit ballet lessons then you should cut her some slack, move on, and help her discover other hobbies, but with clearer expectations.

First you should think about where you want to go with this flight school. Is it just for fun in your spare time or will it be a full time endeavor? Either way, you want to operate your school in a professional manner whether you have two or two hundred students.I think that most schools start out part 61 and evolve to become an FAA approved 141 operation. A good first step is to contact Jeppesen Sanderson or call 800-621-5377. Speak to someone in the education division and order one of the private pilot 141 kits. This kit contains all the information needed to complete a private course including a very good FAA approved syllabus which can easily be used at a later time for the 141 conversion. They also have other options such as online training which is good for the younger computer age individuals. You will find that Jepp also have the same kits for instrument/commercial when you are ready for that training.Location:This is a very critical step. The profit margins in the flight school business are very thin. You want to find an airport that is not offering flight instruction and is willing to offer adequate space for the opportunity to provide this service to their community. It is a good idea to sell yourself to the FBO with the notion that if you do well, their fuel and aircraft maintenance business will flourish with your success. Make sure that you have enough private space for your instructors and students. You will need an office for operations as well as at least one training room.Aircraft:I think it is imperative to start the school owning your first plane. I know that many aircraft owners are willing to lease back aircraft and that this opportunity is hard to pass up, but I highly recommend doing the lease back only if you have your own. Some owners become disenchanted when their airplane is flying too much or a plastic trim piece gets broken (and it will happen). In a very short time you can be out of business with a lease back situation. I found that a nice mix of ownership and lease works very well.You need to be consistent with the aircraft you operate. That is to say, stick with the same type whether it is Cessna, Piper etc. If you mix and match too much it will create training difficulties for you students. As you grow, you want all your primary aircraft to be the same. It is good to have the advanced aircraft an easy fit for your students as they upgrade to instrument/commercial training or become renter pilots.You want to keep it simple at first and not worry about fancy EIFS systems and keeping up with the electronic age. Pilots need to learn good airmanship first. Once mastered, the bells and whistles can be introduced. A good old C150 and C172 are a great place to start. They are reliable and comfortable to fly. Pick up a Trade-A-Plane and start the search.Insurance:The insurance companies and their lawyers pretty much dictate what we can and can not do in aviation. We talk about FAA regulations and Part 61 and 91 requirements, but the reality is that the insurance industry can be the most restrictive element. What they will let us do is what determines how we proceed. So, before you purchase that first training airplane you need to contact a reputable aviation insurance agent and look into a good commercial policy based upon the aircraft you are looking to purchase. As a matter of fact, maybe you should call the agent before you start looking and find out what the cost will be for what you think you want to buy. Either way, I have been using the Falcon Insurance Agency in Columbus, Ohio 888-405-1055 for many years for both flight school and corporate insurance. They will be very happy to speak to you regarding your needs.Advertising:We live in a computer age so a web site is probably a good place to start. Depending upon your location, a yellow page ad might be a good idea. Even just a listing under aircraft schools might help. Usually, there are not many listings in this category. The best advertising is probably the airport at which you are located. People will come to an airport to seek training and for that reason it is important to make sure that your office is always open with an instructor available to take a prospect for a demo flight. This demo flight is your best resource. Eventually, word of mouth will be your ultimate tool if you run a professional operation.Instructors:It is obviously best if you are an instructor pilot starting this business. If not, you need to hire dedicated individuals. There is nothing wrong with using flight instruction to build flight time. However, during this time the pilot instructor should conduct themselves in a professional manner and their students’ needs should come first. You need to have an instructor present at all times for when that potential customer comes through the door for that all important demo flight.In most cases you can hire an instructor as an independent contractor as long as you are careful about how you use them. If they are being paid to watch the office and not instructing you may have an IRS issue. BE CAREFUL with this!!!!Finally, all your instructors need to follow the syllabus and program that you provide for them whether it is from Jeppesen or somewhere else. You don’t want any loose cannons doing their own thing. Any one of your instructors should be able to take over for another without the student noticing a difference. You want a seamless and consistent operation.Operations:I believe that flying should always be fun; however, you need to conduct a flight school as a business if you want to survive. Be careful not become to loose about the way you go about your business. You need to have a good lease agreement with you aircraft owners and even more important is to have a good rental agreement in place for your students and renter pilots. These documents don’t have to be 100 pages of legal jargon. Just a couple pages to make sure everyone is aware of the potential seriousness of this business and what your expectations are in matters such as insurance deductibles etc. Unfortunately, I don’t possess copies of these documents any longer; however, they are not rocket science either. Just some good guidelines established in advance of a potential problem. The insurance agent might be able to help with this information.Final thoughts:Building a flight school from scratch is a hard job. At first, to be successful, it will require working seven days a week with twelve to fourteen hours per day and at first, you will probably enjoy every minute of it. There comes a feeling of great satisfaction from starting a business from the ground up and watching it grow. I found that the amount of return from the school was equal to the time invested. At some point however, you will need to step back and take some time off. This operation will become your whole life if you let it and maybe that is a good thing if you don’t currently have a life. You will meet and make great friends with this type of business. Most of us however, do have family and friends outside the airport that we want spend time with and it is important to not become so absorbed that you miss out on that. At some point, you can afford to take a day off and maybe even cut a couple days down to eight hours.Good luck and remember that flying should be fun.
