While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.

I did get a degree in special education.

My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.

Because I'm from North Carolina, you think I'm the Andy Griffith show, or something?

And I think that when I finally decided to let go and let God and allow that to happen, I became a lot more successful than I could have done if I had planned it all myself.

I auditioned just for fun.

I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.
