In the studio today we have Jonas, a student from Washington, DC.<br />He's just won an award by writing an article about the famous singer, Madonna, for his college newspaper.<br />Jonas, welcome. I believe Madonna herself called you to congratulate you.<br />Well, it's true that I got a letter from her PR company, but I haven't spoken to her myself.<br />So she was born in Detroit in 1958. What about her family?<br />Well, let's see now. Her father was an engineer. I think life was quite a battle for her.<br />You see, she was quite young when her mother died of cancer. Anyway, she took ballet, singing and piano lessons, and got a scholarship to the University of Michigan.<br />A scholarship? She must have been quite good.<br />Well, I think on the whole she did well. Anyway, it wasn't enough for her, and she dropped out of college in 1978 and went to New York to find fortune.<br />Oh, right. Okay, now tell us how her career took off.<br />In the studio today we have Jonas, a student from Washington, DC.<br />He's just won an award by writing an article about the famous singer, Madonna, for his college newspaper.<br />Jonas, welcome.
