I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.

I was never a dancer before 'Shake It Up'.

I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.

Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.

I don't really hashtag things. Unless I'm talking to somebody and I'm being funny and I say something mean but then I'm like, Hashtag...something that's funny. I like to only hashtag funny things, not real stuff.

I know that some girls look up to me for certain things, like dyslexia, and that way I know that they like me for me, so it adds no pressure.

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don't speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I'm proud to be Latina, and most people don't know I am.
