The thing was, at a young age, my mom and my grandma always tried to keep me out of the streets as much as they could, so they put me in a private school when I was super young.

I convinced my parents to let me see an agent, but because I had been taught never to speak to strangers, I was so quiet during the interview, they said to bring me back when I was older.

They would never let me be a crossing guard when I was a little kid. It would come up, I'd always raise my hand, I would never get picked . They thought I was too wild, but I knew I was responsible enough, if I was given that task.

I had people when I was younger trying to feel me up. Older men. I just told them to get lost.

Things don't have to come to you in your youth. It's fine for them to come to you when you get older. That's a motto in my household.

When you're younger they always try to get you to do every ninny role that's going.

I was a good kid. My parents laid rules out for me, and I followed them.

I had great schooling, and my parents were always in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, making sure I had whatever I needed.

I've watched my peers get better with age and hoped that would happen with me.
