Final Answer:
Problem 1 (College but parents can’t afford):
- Solution 1: Apply for scholarships, grants, and financial aid.
- Solution 2: Attend a community college first, then transfer to a 4-year school (cheaper start).
- Solution 3: Work part-time while studying or take a gap year to save money.
→ Final choice: *Apply for scholarships, grants, and financial aid*, because many students get help that doesn’t need to be paid back, and it lets you go to college right away without debt.
Problem 2 (Parents don’t support dancing professionally):
- Solution 1: Take dance classes part-time while studying or working in another field, building skills gradually.
- Solution 2: Talk calmly with parents, share your plan (e.g., backup job, goals), and ask for trial support for 6–12 months.
- Solution 3: Start small—perform locally, record videos, build an online presence to show progress and passion.
→ Final choice: *Talk calmly with parents, share your plan, and ask for trial support*, because showing responsibility and a clear path helps them feel more confident—and it keeps the relationship strong while you pursue your dream.
