Would it be possible for me to follow my dream and...?

well chances are that you have some talent whatsoever, given how you got the lead. How do you know you're in the top 5 percent of drama and english students in the country? i didn't know they kept track ofthat kinda stuff unless you're not in the US. anyhow, its very possible, but I will let you know that both of the careers you aspire to are very difficult ones that are not very sure. You could have a book published, but it might not make much money. I have many friends who are writers and actors who often have trouble making ends meet, but its worth it for alot of them who are simply glad to be doing what they love. As for your novels, I think its great that youre already started, but even if your writing level is extremely mature, it may be difficult for you to sell any because you don't think or have the same experiences as adults, who would therefore be less likely to read your books. I reccomend that you keep writing and in 2 or 3 years try to get some of your books published. As for acting, this is a much more risky road than writing, but if its osmething that you really want to do then you should keep taking your cles and perhaps get an agent. you are indeed a wannabe, but that doesnt make you pathetic and says nothing about your talent. a wannabe simply means someone who "wants to be." I am a pro musician, but i gladly call myself a "wannabe" rockstar. be a wannabe with pride :)
