How high up is the overhead panel on a large Boeing or Airbus?

Hi all,

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I'm relatively short (5'3-5'4) and I have concerns about being able to fly large commercial jets, which is my dream. My arms aren't very long either. I've seen pictures of cockpits and in some of them, the overhead panel appears to require a bit of a stretch. So my question is do you think I'd have problems reaching the panel?
