I grew up always wanting to be a part of 'Idol,' and I never thought I would make it as far as I did. I was really lucky, and it's given me the opportunities that I have now.

When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol.

I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.

To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it's so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it's just a dream.

My ultimate dream is to become a famous star because I love to sing.

I'm living my dream right now. I get to make music, perform and travel.

I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun.

My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.

I felt like I got more comfortable on 'Idol' when I just started being myself and not trying to be what I thought I had to be.
