I will talk to her, and I’ve basically said we support her in what she feels she would like to do. Her grandparents, and our bigger family, are not as supportive of her going into a performing arts major, because they feel like she would be stuck once she has graduated. I’ve told her we would support her journey however she would like to go.

We had wanted her to do a summer college intensive this summer to see if this is really what she wanted to pursue. I created the sheet for her to look at, figure out what programs she was interested in. Then I put it on her to do the actual getting things in (I would help if she needed it). She got ONE in on time out of the 3 she wanted. She put everything off, didn’t even try hard on the one she did get in (like took first version, didn’t meet with her vocal coach before finalizing the video like we had planned)-then got waitlisted. I told her she should send an email saying she is still interested, and she wrote it up–never got it out. She ended up being declined from the program. Needless to say, to me this shows she needs to grow up a bit more. AND if she wanted to go, she would’ve wanted to get it in on time/and tried harder.

I guess I need to have a bigger conversation to make sure I’m not pushing her–but just a month ago during her school production, she again said that is where she felt she belonged.
