<p>notactingmom, your daughter sounds determined, passionate and hardworking. She’s gone a long way on her own. If I were you I’d do whatever is possible (within reason) to help her. When you love something so much that you’re willing to really work for it, just that love is a gift. Let her follow it wherever it takes her. Yes, there will be disappointment, but there will also be satisfaction. Her path will twist and turn like everyone’s-- but how wonderful to set off with such energy and commitment!</p>
