| NewMTMom....SO glad you came back to follow up and share about your daughter. Welcome back! It is best that readers learn about the many paths that kids are taking as there is no one right single path. A BFA program is one path and the one talked about most on here. Some will do a BA program and make it in this field. Some might forego college and do a certificate program or take training at studios. Some might do theater on the side while pursuing something else in college. I'm glad something has worked out for your daughter. You do have to deal with what life gives you and she has. I don't know where she was "'meant to be" but am glad she has found a place that will work for her to become what she wants to be. Who knows where it will lead but I hope to something fulfilling.
I do feel for you as a mom because it is very tough when things don't go the way your child has hoped and a parent cannot control that. Perhaps your daughter needed more preparation and training which is understandable having come into the field of interest later on and having had limited experience. The odds of admission to the programs are so long to begin with even if well trained and prepared. I think she is going to get lots of training now and that's what matters if she wants to continue her pursuit of this field. It may be just the right step for her in the end.
I'll write you soon.
