Singing, dancing, and acting! The part [of Roxie in Let It Shine] was right up my alley. Plus, the thought of playing a rock star was like a dream for me.

Determination. You have to be willing to put in the extra time and the extra practice to be the best.

I read a lot of summaries about the story [ based on the Cyrano de Bergerac. ]. I also watched Roxanne, the movie starring Steve Martin.

I have read some great books recently: "Heaven is For Real," "Bud Not Buddy," and my favorite, "Tiger Eyes."

I would have to say the best was when my mom formed a company for me. I write out all of the checks for my performance business. I get to see the money I make and how much it takes to do what I do.

Sometimes it is hard because my schedule is crazy. I am homeschooled, so my school travels with me.

My parents are the people that led me here. My mom helped me learn to sing and she travels with me.
