What should I expect and plan for when trying to go to college without family support?
I'm a junior this year I started in early August. I coming up at the end of my high school and I'm genuinely worried for how I am going to pay and afford college. My parents do make good money but they don't except a lot about me. They will only support me through college if I choose the path they want for me which is being a nurse practitioner. But I want to start a Christian based business for other struggling teens when I graduate. They also do not accept the fact I am Christian either.

It's great that in these times, we have Christian teens like you who are living with a sense of purpose for God. I still don't know what u want to major in tho; u didn't specify. But I will say that there are scholarships, especially for Christian college aspirants. Try Bold.org and scholarshipowl.com, you will find a ton of no-essay thousand dollar scholarships that you would likely be eligible. Add a good number of those together and before you know it, you can pay for college. Plus, if you know God sent you to major in xyz, He would make a way. God is in control :)
