Fantasia Barrino

I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith.

I want to still be singing at 70 years old. I want to be open to the dreams I haven't even dreamed up.

When I realized I was having trouble reading, I was too embarrassed to ask for help. Some teachers believed in me, but I just wasn't focused on school - I was into the music and trying to please my dad.
