I would dance to all the songs that came on the radio, and I started singing to my favorites.

But into every life, some rain must fall. When I was 8 years old, and in second grade, I became very ill. I missed nearly four weeks of school, and was hospitalized for three days. When I was over the illness, the doctors determined that it had been atypical measles; I began to get anxiety on a regular basis, and had to be talked down frequently.
