Jacob Sartorius Looks Back on How Far He's Come: 'Dreams Come True'

Jacob Sartorius has absolutely blown up in the past year (he was even mentioned on Judge Judy!) and now he’s reminiscing on just how far he’s come in his career.

“grateful,” the 15-year-old singer wrote on Instagram, “this time last year i was performing in a mall for 250 people.”

“i never stopped working, dreams come true,” he continued. “don’t stop dreaming.”

Jacob also posted a picture of himself singing on a stage — and definitely not in a mall.

His post is an amazing reminder that exercising resilience and determination in life can make all of the difference. If Jacob had given up earlier, he would never have reached the success he has today.
