Family of Kely Clarkson struggled financially, and music became Clarkson's refuge after the 1st divorce. She attended Pauline G Hughes Middle School and Burleson High School, originally aiming to become a marine biologist. In 7th grade, a teacher (Mrs. Cynthia Glenn) overheard Clarkson's singing in a hallway and asked Clarkson to audition for the school choir. She told the teacher that Clarkson had never received professional vocal training.
In high school, Kelly Clarkson performed in musicals such as Annie Get Your Gun, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Brigadoon. Around this time, she decided to pursue singing. Clarkson sang at her high school talent show, after which a gentleman shared some inspiring words with her: "God has given you this gift. You've got to sing. You're destined to sing."
Kelly Clarkson did continue to sing and soon started classical training, hoping that music would be her ticket to a college scholarship.
