Proud owner of admission access to Attakkalari school of Movement Arts declares that she has been offered the FULL scholarship at the institute. Before reviewing and signing the contract that entitles her 2 year of compulsory work with the institution, She informed her parents of changing course which met a sad negative. " I don't know why people are so important in my Freudian parents eyes. I see the sense in the argument that states I jump around a little too much but not in the argument that says - We've been telling people you are doing graphic designing in Bangalore, now, how will we face them and reveal this bitter truth? Freudian parents because everything boils to sexual dynamics. I guess all parents think that way, some choose to blatantly reveal it, some choose to discourage and warn, others protect being aware at the same time".
A full scholarship would mean Dilemma Dancer pays nothing. Agreed that she could be a slave at their mercy at the end of it, but there is no payment now. Any information on the future prospects (monetary and other wise) of the field are welcome.
It must be told that the writer found no way to end this post but like this.

maybe parents don't know what to think...so their brains just start firing signals that are reaction to not knowing how to proceed when their child talks of making a change...because, change is risk and parents feel responsible...
ReplyDeleteif only they could express their concern and partner with the child (who is really not a child;-)
be the thoughtful, encouraging parent that I think they would also want to be...
I've been in similar place with my father recently...he and I don't agree on what is or is not worth my time and effort...but he does not have the benefit of experiencing as my heart does...
and he has his past experiences and conclusions and worries...
it was hurtful to feel he would judge my thoughts/opinions...but I suppose he is just at that place where those thoughts come to mind...
oh, congratulations! wish I had some information for you...maybe you can talk to one of the current students (or a couple..)...and maybe past graduates...nothing wrong with information...
hopefully it will help you know how to go..when, how, where...
did you ever here that people have on average 7 careers in a lifetime? well, people make changes..sometimes within a career, sometimes it's the workplace, or the location...sometimes it's something new...closer to what they enjoy the most....sometimes it's a really good thing....sometimes it helps in getting to the next place..
not every person looks for the same things...and I think that the older generation is slow to see the evolving interests and opportunities that were not necessarily there "back then"
do what you love....and the opportunities follow? the kinds, and amounts vary, but I think some creativity can go a long way towards finding what works...if you are creative and can think about how to make a living while doing what you love...it may be that it is one in the same...
I hope you find some good information.
take heart chamki...
you will probably find that many parents are not balanced with thought and not so great with reaction and expressions when it comes to their children being in territory that they are unfamiliar with and would not go themselves...
why do other people's opinions matter...well, maybe because they fear not knowing their own mind enough to be able to talk about it with them...
I think the more anything becomes the normal thing...as it just gets going...the more they will see and be confident ...I bet they want to support, but just worry...
