MTV's 'When I Was 17' series has finally made it's way around to Ciara.
It won't come as any surprise that by the time she was 17, Ciara was very driven, but also very well liked at her high school.
As her friend Jasper describes her, "When Ciara was 17 she was just real ambitious, just happy all the time. Sing and dance [he repeated that several times] that's all she do."
She was a cheerleader, which isn't hard to imagine, but she had to make a decision to either get serious about her music career or continue as a cheerleader. So she decided to pursue music full time.
From there, you know what happened. She worked her butt off and became a big star with hits like Goodies and 1,2 step.
Ciara is about to release her fourth album titled 'Basic Instinct' in August.
