Hey Tasha
Congrats on getting this far, especially with people dragging you down, it takes a lot to turn around and prove them wrong.
Like Katrina and Cara said, make sure you focus on getting a good education too, just so you have something to fall back on should things not go as planned.
However... I'm sure if you work hard and really fight for your dreams you'll get where you want to be.
Good Luck Tasha
