When that bell rang, I wanted to go out there and do my thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was allowed to ring the bell for five minutes until everyone was in assembly. It was the beginning of power.
I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.
I've always known where I wanted to go in life.
I knew what I wanted to do even when I was a little girl.
I so wanted to perform, and I grasped every opportunity.
I had to find the courage to turn my life around.
I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.
I had the opportunity to do what I enjoy.
I wanted to step forward and be on TV and for people to see who I really was.
Every day I lugged my backpack through the halls, waiting for the final bell. Then I'd race home and hole up in my room, playing the drums and the piano, composing music.
