“I feel as though teens will listen to teens more so than a parent or guardian speaking to them. It's unfortunate but teenagers prefer talking, as well as listening, to their peers. So through my books music and TV shows i can reach them and hopefully make a positive difference in their lives and I feel as though the sky is the limit. If you believe in yourself, have faith that you CAN do whatever you put your mind to and keep a positive attitude, you can accomplish everything you want." says this bright teen role model.
