Help this lady: Should I live my dream of becoming an actress or listen to my mum?

 

Should I live my dream or listen to my mum?

I’m a girl of 21 and for as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to be an actress.

I went to college for performing arts, which convinced me it’s something I really want to do.

My friends suggested signing up for one of the amateur dramatics groups in my area but I wouldn’t know what to do after that.

My mother is always telling me that I’ll have a one-in-a-million chance of getting anywhere.

I can’t help wondering if I might be that one in a million, though.

I know it’s going to be hard but I’m prepared for it and I would like to prove my mum wrong as she thinks I’m “living in the clouds”.

Do I give up on my biggest dream or listen to my mum? I don’t know what to do
