Your family not understanding your dream doesn’t mean it’s the wrong dream. It means it’s new to them.

Parents and grandparents usually judge a plan against the plans they have watched work. If nobody at your kitchen table has done the thing you want to do, their first reaction is worry, and worry sounds almost exactly like disapproval. Confusion is not a verdict. They are reacting to something unfamiliar, not to what you are capable of.

Give them something concrete instead of a vision. Show the class you signed up for, the money you made, the person in that field who answered your message. Most families come around faster when they can see a step rather than a dream.
