Leah Remini dropped out of school when she was 14 to become an actress, so she never went to college. However, even at 50, you are never too old to go back to school. That is why she applied to New York University, and she got in.
I am so excited, in tears and wanted to share this with you guys. For someone like me, a person who desperately wanted a higher education and options in my life, coming from a cult and a family who didn’t value an education, this is a very big day for me. This didn’t come easy. This is one of the last chunks of my life that I am taking back for myself from Scientology. It took a lot for me to take this step, for fear that I was not smart enough, not worthy enough, not able to do the work that will be required, my age…. I did it anyway with a lot of encouragement from a very special person in my life. I am ready to do the work and honestly, I’m scared shitless! And I am excited to start on my journey. It’s just never too late is it? Thank you to NYU @nyuniversity for believing in me. And thank you John @iescentralmass, you are an amazing man and anyone needing someone to cheer them on, to walk them through this (sometimes) intimidating process, who are scared to take this first step, should choose you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. #goafteryourdreams #dreambig
Congrats to Remini because this takes a lot of guts. She is proving to us that you can take your life back and live your dreams if you want to. You just have to push yourself, and you can get what you want.
