What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
When I was little I would not wear pink; I lived in sweat pants and wore my cowboy boots and would not let anyone comb my hair.
Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
I am the youngest of two. I have a sister, Jeruschia, who is eight years older than I am. Even though we are far apart in age we could not be closer. She is the best sister I could have hoped for.
Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Jeruschia Horton, my older sister. She has been a strong influence on my life by being a positive role model for me. She is a registered nurse with her BSN degree. She has modeled how you can work hard, get a good educuation and follow your dreams and make them a reality. She has loved me unconditionally and is always there for me.
