You have a good start.

How far you go depends largely on you and how proactive you are.

However, even if you work really hard, you still may not end up as a star on Broadway. Chances are slim, to be honest, but someone has to be the star, so why not you? You never know where you may end up - life may surprise you.

Keep polishing your talents and keep doing shows. Never get complacent and never lose your drive. Hopefully, luck will come your way and you will grab the opportunity when it arises. If you really want to be a broadway star - you have to make it happen and go after it. You can't just sit back and play it safe, because Broadway's not going to come find you.

Your parents are going to have to help you achieve this until you are 18 - after that, it's up to you.

I think you should be realistic and plan on attending school through at least a bachelors, always nice to have an education to fall back on. On the other hand I would say to go for it. You should look up a young lady by the name of Ellary Porterfield, She was discovered sort of by accident so it happens but the odds are long. The "stars" who I admire most are those like Brooke Shields who I think is a Princeton grad and Jodie Foster who is NYU??(I think anyway) Both are educated and obviously talented not to mention beautiful.

You're ambitious enough to make it.
