No one believed in me, but I believed in myself. I almost quit after my frist tryout. I fight for my dreams because this is my life now. Sometimes I feel like people don’t realize how much this means to me. My parents told me to go to law school. She is sick of people telling her what she needs to do. I want to be at the top of this division. This is what I am meant to do. Nothing means more than the WWE. My parents are proud of me now because they see me happy. I am the first French female superstar.
