Walking
onto that set upon a tour of backstage was one of the most invigorating
experiences of my life. I believe that was the moment that determined what I
was going to do for the rest of my life. While the bright lights blinded my
eyes and the thunderous applause pounded in my ears, I dawdled on up to Oprah
herself and gave her a big bear hug. With my heart drumming its way out my
chest, I looked to the audience to see my mom, aunt, and older sister cheering
me on. The show cued up and at that point, millions of eyes were on me! That
experience made it to the top of my list of inspirational moments.
