Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

We face challenges every day both big and small. But regardless we are always ready for any obstacle, and we have each other to stay grounded, grow together and for comfort. Our memories growing up are what built our foundation. I think we are proof to never give up. None of us are perfect, and we're okay with making fun of our flaws.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.

I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I'm sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.

I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do
