What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
I actually sat in a lawn chair in the middle of the open field that is behind my house during a thunder storm. Was I concerned about getting hit by lightning? Of course not... It was truly awesome.

What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
When I was younger, I saw the broadway show "Miss Saigon" and after the show I waited at the stage door for autographs. The stage manager came out and said, "You look like you are going to be on this stage someday. Do you want to come in and look around?" He took me backstage where I met the cast, then rode in the helicopter and stood in the middle of a Broadway theatre stage. It was the beginning of my dream.

Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
I am right in the middle. I have an older sister and a younger brother. Sometimes it can be tough, but for the most part I end up getting out of most conflicts or problems that might arise. No one ever expects the middle child to do anything wrong.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
My mom. My mommy means the world to me; she has always been my rock as well as my biggest fan. My mom grew up without parents, and even though she may have had some rough times, with the help of her grandparents she became a wonderful, successful person. My mom would do back flips just to make my brother, sister and me happy. She is my best friend and the greatest, most important person in my life, and always will be. She has instilled in me the dream that I can be whatever I want to be if I work hard and stay true to myself.
