Dream Of Becoming An Actress

I`m 17 years old and I want to become an actress. I`m a junior in high school this year and will be taking drama, which is my first step to being onstage. I haven`t told my parents yet because they`d tell me it`s not a real job. Don`t worry if you guys aren`t taking any classes yet. There are a lot of famous actresses who started acting in college or even after and they made it. My personal favorite Jennifer Garner. Well good luck to all of you.
