The Message I'll Share...is That

The Biggest Problem I Had - And The Biggest Problem Teenagers Have - Is Not How They Dress, How They Look Or How They Act Or Talk. It's How They See Themselves - Their Self-esteem. In The Tenth Grade, I Realized I Am Who I Am. I've Got Big Ears And Big Feet. I Can Etiher Sulk Around Or I Can Be Happy With Who I Am. The Minute I Decided To Be Confident With Who I Was, All That Other Stuff Stopped. It's All In The Way You Carry Yourself.

If Other People Choose To Believe Because I Do, Great. I Want To Show People God's Love Through What I Do And Who I Am. At The Same Time, I Don't Feel I Need To Pass Out Bibles At The Concert.

I Know This Is Going To Sound Cheesy And Like I'm Trying To Be Miss America, But The Most Important Responsibility A Celebrity Has Is To Set An Example And Be A Role Model. I Want To Make Sure That No Matter How Long I Go Through This, I Don't Fall Into The Trap Of Changing And Modifying How I Do Things That Aren't A Positive Example. I Want To Remain Somebody That The Entire Family Can Listen To Or Watch.

The Message I'll Share...is That Inclusion Is Extremely Important For Kids With And Without Disabilities.

When The Answer To All My Dreams Is As Close As A Touch Away, Why Am I Here Holding Back What I'm Trying To Say?
