Madonna
Madonna is probably the biggest female singer of all time, but before she was killing it on stage, she was cheering the Rochester Adams High School sports teams on. However, she wasn’t any simple-minded cheerleader. Throughout high school, she maintained straight As, which was a feat that nobody expected from young Madonna.
She accepted a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan, but she left academics in pursuit of a career. Madonna moved from Michigan to New York, where she began dancing professionally. As time went on, people realized that she was just as talented behind the mic as she was on the dance floor, and the rest is history.
