After weeks of practice, we were finally ready. We performed a dance to show my parents we were ready for the audition, and they loved it.
I was determined to convince my mom to let me go, because Demi's parents said yes. They still said no, but i never gave up. Every day before school Demi and I would rise as early as the sun to practice our skills for Disney to show my parents I took this seriously.
With my parents' permission, we went to the audition… and got hired!
From that point on, we were DIsney Channel stars. I went on to star in many popular movies and TV shows including Barney and Friends with Demi, and Wizzards of Waverly Place. I even branched off and explored a music career
In my adult years, I developed Lupus but turned it into something positive, and helped spread awareness about the autoimmune disorder. I even made a documentary about my struggles with lupus, a kidney transplant and mental health. I will forever encourage everyone around the world to never give up on following your dreams, no matter what challenges come at you.
