Hi 4chan. I am going into my senior year of high school and I am so overwhelmed with all this college stuff. I have recently met with my guidance counselor and she helped me immensely. However, my parents want me to go to a community college even though my GPA and SAT score are good enough for 4 year colleges here.I try explaining that I want to push myself and actually make a name for myself. Being a first generation latino means that I can achieve much more than what the social norm expects. And that's what I want to do, but my parents just don't understand that. Is there a way I can convince my parents that I can achieve so much more if they just trust me. Please help.

Simple. Just show them that you can achieve so much this year, just start signing up for 4 year colleges and shit, but make sure to show your parents that you can make it in life

If that's the case, he has a good chance of earning a scholarship as a first-gen, minority, somewhat successful student.
