<p>Thank you very much for your responses! </p>
<p>My daughter has no experience in theater, she did not do anything until she was 14 because she played sports, that was my ambition I must admit. She was a great athlete and had good chances to become a pro but one day she told me she does not want to play sports any more and her dream is theater. We live abroad, she attended the only American school in the city, it has no theater class. No community theater either, it’s not an English speaking country. She found a performance arts high school in US, applied, auditioned and was accepted. I did not support her decision but did not stand on the way either, it’s her life after all.</p>
<p>She enjoys the school a lot and really lives from one show to another. But outside of school she has no experience because I want her to be at home the whole summer. So, no theater camp, just local dance and vocal lessons. Her resume will look poor I guess. It was really difficult first year in school for her because she realized how much behind her peers she is in terms of voice and dance. She is doing much better now and theater teacher gave her good comment with B+ grade.</p>
<p>I told her getting into BFA is her project but I feel like it’s too difficult for her now. I read here somewhere that it’s not fair to get into a gun fight with a knife. That’s how it looks to me. Should I help her more even though I am not sure it’s right thing for her? Get her an acting coach, look together through schools, visit some of them, listen to the monologues she works on, encourage her more? She recently broke down because all this stuff just overwhelmed her. She usually holds it though, not a very open kid.</p>
<p>I really don’t know what to do, any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated!</p>
