Hopefully they will support you if not then remind them that you are going to have to support yourself and probably will have to help support a family someday and that the schooling is very important to you and that so are their wishes but that it is time for you to cut the apron strings and get out on your own. Good luck!

They sound like normal parents from any part of the world. Regardless of their ethnic background or tradition, they will want what is best for you. Don't forget, they also live in 2006--life is different for everybody. You all sound like good people, concerned for each other, wanting the best for one another. Continue your concern and care for each other and there will be no loss. You're still the same good people, even if you're further apart geographically. Off course they will miss you, but it won't break their hearts. It might be harder for you than for them. When salmon go upstream over rocks and waterfalls to lay their eggs you don't see them turning around and keeping their eggs, refusing to lay them. Nah, they have to go and lay these eggs, hard as it may be. It wouldn't be right any other way. The salmon couldn't just lay these eggs out at sea where they already were, it had to be the hard way. Salmon "knows" the best spot for their eggs is up, over the sharp rocks, and through the treacherous waterfalls. So they go there. They take a really serious beating in the process that finally takes their lives. It is their function. If they do their function well, their eggs have a better chance. Parents are much smarter than we give them credit for. Parents have already paid a big price to raise children and no matter who is footing the bill for tuitions, etc. it's a big credit to your parents that you have this opportunity. Thank your parents for who you are, thank them that you pulled it off, and thank them that you are transferring to next step. I would be much surprised, if they don't already have a pretty good idea of what is happening and have been preparing for it. They just didn't want you to feel that you couldn't stay if it didn't work out.
Thank your parents, continue to love them and show them gratitude by earning your seat at college through giving your time there your best possible effort. Make them proud, they deserve it and they'll love it. Best of luck with your adventure. You're a beautiful young woman for thinking of your parents,

By being the first in the family to attend college allows you to set rules that differ from family tradition. Be honest, and well spoken with respect. The favor of God will make it happen.

I would sit down with them and talk about your feelings. Be sure and mention the part about how you always want to honor traditions and are proud of your family and heritage and then give sound reasons as to why you are responsible enough to be on your own and why you are seeking to do so.

I'm assuming you're over the age of 18 since you're going to college so with that, I think you should sit them down and tell them that you are young woman now and it's time for you to leave the nest.
Hispanic or not, time comes for the kids to leave the coop.

i see. You have a good thing going on in your life which is going to college and ur parents need to accept u . If your parents can't accept that u want to move out something is wrong with them.
They should be proud of you. Parents are just protecting you.
Tell them what u want to do in your life. how do you want to live your life. Ask them what they want from you.

Congratulations!
P.S.I think it would break their hearts if you didn't go. They do want the best for you -don't they? In life-always be honest, it makes things so much easier so tell them now rather than later.
