Want to sing but don't know about parent's approval
I am a 13-year-old girl that is aspiring to become a singer. I don't necessarily want to start a career right now, but there is this company that I had in mind. I was thinking of auditioning for that company because the audition fee is free and if I get in, they will give me free professional training until I debut. My favorite singers are from this company and it was because of those singers that I realized I wanted to become a singer. I would've never guessed this was what my dream would be but it's what I really want to do. The problem is, I don't think my parents would approve of this. I've never asked them about it and they have absolutely no idea that this is my dream. I'm really terrified of asking them about it because of what they would think or say. Well, I have never discussed this with them so I obviously don't know what their reaction to it is, but I'm guessing that they will definitely not allow me to. Whenever I even asked them the question about what job they want me to do when I'm older, they said they didn't really know yet but maybe a doctor. My mom also likes to keep her brain working all through her life and that's why she never wants to retire until she is physically unable to work anymore so I think she'd want me to do something that requires a lot of knowledge and thinking. Does singing require that? :confused:
This is just what I really want to do and what I think my parents really would not want me to do. Nobody in my family, or that I know of, has had a career like this before. And, I don't want my family to be angry at me about this or anything. I want them to be proud of me. Yet, this is my dream... What do I do?
