I really like the story of Susan Boyle - a lady from Scotland country village became so glimmer after she sang "I dreamed a dream"  in Britains Got Talent 2009.  It tells us that just go ahead no matter your circumstance is good or not.  Just do it, and keep faith on youself.

Here is one of URL link regarding Susan for your reference -
