* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My personal hero would have to be my little brother, Shayne. If it was not for my brother, I would not be the person I am today. He is the reason I strive to be the greatest I can be. I aim to be the perfect role model for my brother so that he can grow up to reach his full potential. Shayne has been through many obstacles in his life, but has never once given up. He serves as an inspiration for me every day because if a 12-year-old can keep perservering, then so can I."
