GOALS :

I've loved singing probably since I was born, and always dreamt of being a famous 'Pop Star' one day. I do believe I consist of the power to make my dream come true, and because of that I will do everything that is humanly possible to make my dream a reality. With the help of God and the support of my parents and friends I know I WILL reach the top. Therefore my goals are to become the best I can to reach international status and achieve much in my singing career. Even the goal that seems the highest can be reached, and the dream that seems the furthest can come true.
As you can see from the above, I am well on my way to realizing my dreams !!!
