Exploring faith and family: Thinking about embracing Islam

Assalamu alaikum. My entire family are Christians, but over the last couple of years, I've felt myself drawn to Islam and I've been considering conversion. The thing is, my parents aren't really on board with it. It's made me wonder if I can, or even should, go ahead. I know that in Islam, there's a big emphasis on making your parents happy and treating them with respect. So, I'm caught between wanting to follow my heart towards Allah, and not wanting to upset my folks. It's a tough spot to be in.
