My_qualifications - passed 12th this year

1 have my profile I have my options I know what I want to study and where and how to get there but what I do not know is how to convince my parents to let me leave.

One year ago for 4 years my parents were convinced and were ready to let me go abroad. In fact in 11th grade my dad applied for his work visa, he was going to shift to the USA with me and we were looking at multiple colleges, deciding when to take ielts and sat. Last year this time he changed his mind said he didn’t want to go through with his visa and wanted to stay here.

I was devastated because this put me back in the engineering entrances rat race here and I had to catch up with everyone else which I really struggled to do.

He’s not willing to send me because he feels I’m not ready for it and it’ll be hard without any family there. I personally think he’s spoken to a lot of people who sent their kids abroad and heard they’re struggling or heard something negative I don’t know but I know that whatever it is has influenced him against the idea of undergrad abroad.

I do have family there now, my first cousins who I grew up with shifted there for work so it’s not like I’ll fully be alone. I’m fully aware of the challenges I’ll face there and I know myself, I’m ready for it.

I’m really lost on how to convince him, I know my opportunities are better met abroad than in India and I know money is not the issue.

I don’t know how else to convince him and I fear that any way I do will end up with us fighting. Everytime I try to go to him and tell him I can’t do something he gets mad because he thinks that I think I know better than him but I don’t.

I only what is better for me and he does not see that. I’m open to any kind of solutions thank you for reading till here.

TLDR - dad’s mind fully changed on me studying UG abroad and I don’t know how to convince him now
