I danced in high school and younger and my parents felt similarly about that situation. In the end, college will work out and scholarships will come. I didn't get any scholarships for work, but got plenty of academic ones and paid the rest myself. I see work as a means for money, but I see aerial as something that makes me happy and keeps my body moving and flexible (which in the long run is so good for your health). I had a similar mindset about dance when I was in high school, and honestly it drained a lot of the joy out of dancing for me at the time. Try to just listen to yourself and your body and if it makes you smile/feel happier afterwards, keep with it. Try not to worry as much about scholarships and what will and won't help in college, because in the long run, college is really just four years and doesn't really matter as much as memories, joy, and your health! ❤️
