Grammy nominated singer Fantasia Barrino is ready to go back to school and earn her high school degree, after dropping out about a decade ago in the ninth grade.
“I’ve been talking about it for so long. I have a lot of young people who look up to me, like my 15-year-old brother and 7-year-old daughter. It’s something that I really need to do and that I want to do.”
Fantasia said that she realized the need to be educated after she faced the possibility of one of her homes being foreclosed and put up for auction.

Fantasia is hoping to release her third album later this year and is also in talks to star in a reality show about her own life.
