Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture

The most important thing you wear is your personality.

I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.
