My dad doesn't want me to go to college?Please help!!!?

It's possible to do both!

First, though, you should pursue boxing. Your amateur record is very respectable, and may open up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. On the other hand, college and university will ALWAYS be there; but, your boxing ability and physical well-being will not. They are highly perishable. Pursuing boxing has the added benefit of also allowing your overbearing, domineering father to selfishly fulfill his lifelong dreams vicariously, through you. If you do not take this course of action, he will resent you for life (but probably provide a good example of how not to raise your own children).

As long as someone doesn't punch you into retardedness, you will be able to go to college after your body becomes too damaged by boxing, and can use your boxing earning to pay for college, rather than go into debt, like so many other undergrads! Also, you may not even have to go to college, as some institutions will probably grant you honorary doctorates for your performance in the ring.

PLEASE follow your dream. The life of most boxers is so short, and so few actually make it to the big leagues. Your dad is living HIS dream through you.

Talk with your school guidance counselors to see about scholarships and bursaries for colleges that offer what you want to study. With your GPA you should have no trouble getting some.

Talk with your grandparents, uncles, aunts, anyone you know about college and if there is anyone who you think can talk to your dad, ask them to.

Fight for your future. It's that important.

Consider finding a part time job that will allow you to work your way through college

You will be 18 and at that age it is no longer his choice. All he can do is to refuse to support you. Just tell him you will take up boxing as your college sport. But remind him how short most boxer's careers are.

You can box in college. You need to find a way to earn a good living for the rest of your life. He is being very short sighted.

Try to explain to him that you do not want to rely on boxing as your career. It's not a good move anyway, especially if you end up injured. Try to explain that to him, and tell him that you want to go to college. If you lay out your plans for college (what you plan on majoring in, what career you want) then maybe he'll listen to you.

And how long does a career in boxing last? what does he intend you do then?

Can't believe your father is planning your future so badly.

Im in the same boat My father won't cosign...

Go to college, it will be your biggest regret it later in life if you don't.
