When we were doing the cheerleading for this, I was excited about doing it because I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I always wanted to but I didn't get to because I was working.

I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school

My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I've been doing this for twelve years.

I find I don't need to be polished. I feel that you have to keep it real, and that's the best way to go.

I guess NBC must have noticed that one of my main staples is social media. So, when they approached me for The Voice, I thought "Why not be the first one to do it?"

I want to be remembered as a happy, humble person, and as someone who motivated others to never give up.

But people who do not know me are surprised to see me as a real person I guess.
