Fantasia has enormous talent, and she worked very hard not only to reach her goal,
but to overcome her fear and insecurity after dropping out of school to have her baby.
She now has the self-confidence and tools to go to amazing heights, but her mission is to
provide a better life for her child. She also had the support of a loving and forgiving family,
and she turned to her church and her faith to help her.
Not everyone has this kind of network, but there are people out there willing
to help you if you reach out and ask.

Subject: I totally agree
I totally agree with the mothers trying to better themselves.
I'm a young mother myself and I'm doing everything in my power
to make sure my son grows up happy and healthy.
I admire Fantasia for doing this and congrats to her for making it to the top!

You are right Barbara...people do have a lot more support than they realize.
There is so much help out there and people just has to reach out and ask for it.
Yes, Fantasia is amazing.
Her song, "I Believe" makes me cry everytime.
It is so spiritual and I just love her voice.
She sounds like Macey Gray
