4. I am an ambassador for the ASPCA in honor of one of my dear cats that passed away.
5. I have a spiritual connection to Wonder Woman.
6. I was homeschooled [so that I could] pursue my singing dreams. As I was studying for my SATs, I auditioned for X-Factor and my life changed.
7. I am terrified of fireworks, balloons popping and thunderstorms. They destroy my eardrums. I don’t understand how people enjoy them!
8. I adore old Hollywood. My favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn.
9. I love red wine.
10. I still don’t have my driver’s license. It is my 2021 goal to get it. I say this every year.

19. One of my favorite things in life to do is play with my little cousins. The heartwarming moments are endless.
