Where do i go from here?

Aiight...So in my last entry I was briefly discussing my dreams of becoming an actress... I know many of you questioned it (as i did). I'm not trying to be the next Mo'Nique but it is something i have a desire to pursue IN ADDITION to having my career. I am fully aware, that it's hard enough to be a Seventh Day Adventist in the entertainment industry, because of all the stipulations i will not negotiate. I will not work on my Sabbath. I'm not going to curse, or degrade myself. So with that being said, i think my best bet is to stick to theatre. I'm even thinking about gospel plays, but still im sure there will be a bumping of heads. Well i leave that in God's hands.
But as i mull over career options i am stuck at a stand still not knowing what to do. And then God showed me a bit of clarity. I already know working a dead end job with a boss and punch card is not going to work for me. The arts are really important to me, and i think everyone should have an opportunity to be exposed to them, especially at a young age. I wish my parents had enrolled me in art classes, music, or instruments, creative writing, sign language... everything! So i realize.. I want to open my own after school program for kids of all ages. I want them to have a place where they can take classes in all elements of the arts. Music, acting, sign language, instruments, voice lessons THE WORKS! i just experience a great feeling of determination. My cousin started a similar academy for kids, and i want to take my cue from her. I'm going to do this. OOOOOH BABY! Mama D finally has a plan! HALLELUJAH! aiight! i'll holla everyone!
