I never question God. Sometimes I say, 'Why me? Why do I have such a hard life? Why do I have this disease? Why do I have siblings who died?' But then I think and say, 'Why not me?'

I would not have lasted a minute, literally a minute, on this Earth without God and angels by my side, because I was born. And right as I was born, I went into a respiratory arrest. So, big things that keep me going are friends and family, God. And another thing is looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow.

We always have to choose to live our lives to the fullest. No one is better or worse than anyone else. We are different and beautiful.

I've gotten books published. I've met famous people that are very nice. I look back and I say, 'Wow. Thank you, God, for giving me this gift. And thank you for helping me to keep going.'

It's the song in your heart that wants you to help make yourself a better person, and to help other people do the same. Everybody has one.

I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.

Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.
