What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
I am completely open with my parents. I have a wonderful relationship with them, and not many teens can say that.

Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
I am the oldest. It is very important for me to be a positive role model for my younger sister Leslie.

Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
My Mother. My Mom is always available and ready to help any time that I need her. She is my best friend and I can talk to her about anything. She has taught me to be a leader and to believe in myself, and she has helped shape me into a caring, honest, and classy young woman.
