"Always remember I love you:" I tell my daughter that every day. I ask her, "What do I always want you to know?" And she'll say, "that you love me." If that's all she remembers...

Ashley and I go bike riding, roller skating. I'm on my ten-speed, she's on her little old bicycle with training wheels. We get out there and play basketball, run around the house, ice skate. I want her to stay healthy.

I'm a food service worker. Julie Yates, God bless her heart. She's the manager. She had confidence in me before I had confidence in myself. She treated me like a person, just like anybody else walking in the door. I had other interviews with people saying to me, "If you had two hands, I'd hire you on the spot." She didn't let none of that bother her.

I like people. I love them. I like to talk to them. I know the people that are new versus the people that come in every day. I ask them their name, where they live, how many people in their family, their momma and daddy. You can even tell when one of them is angry. I ask, "What's wrong dear, you ain't yourself today." They tell me their problems.

I've got to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life. I want more responsibility in my job. I could be a manager just as good as anybody else could be a manager. I'd probably be a pretty good one because I want to treat them as I want to be treated. That's what a lot of people don't understand.

I lived in such a bad neighborhood that I didn't have many friends. A lot of drugs, a lot of girls having babies. I didn't want any part of that. I just stayed in my room to sing and write songs and stuff like that. But I didn't get any encouragement. Because I liked country music I was "whacked out" because I'm black and they said I shouldn't like that kind of music. So now that I'm older, I'm pursuing what I want to do. I like to go out singing, to karaoke, variety shows, talent shows. I don't want to be Whitney Houston or Dolly Parton. You get this feeling in you and you can put it in a song.

I wanted to be a great guitar player, so I was really, really upset, because it was my hand and you need two hands to do that. When I was young we didn't have a lot of money to do stuff, but my husband bought me a guitar. I think I would have been good by now. You know, I'm just a jean and boot person.

A lot of people feel just because I have one arm, I can't do a lot. I can do anything anybody else can do. It might take me a little longer. I can be in a store and I can be pushing a buggy and someone comes up to me, "Do you need help?" No, thank you. They offer me the six winning Megabucks numbers, I'd take that.
