thank you so much.

my problem is, cari, there's

Nothing distinctive about it for

Me, and the problem is you were

Boring.

okay.

So nerve-racking to audition

In front of the judges because

They're such these prestigious

Industry.

And to have them sit there and

Watch you--you know, I'm just

It's definitely nerve-racking.

For me this is the last time.

For a lot of the young kids,

They can go try it again.

I don't plan on trying it again.

I just turned in March.

And I've never been away from

Just coming here is just--

It's difficult, but you're here

For a reason.

I feel like I'm living a dream
