Avis's advice to all young singers:  Education is the key to your future.
It will help you to become a well rounded individual in all areas.  So take the time
to go to school and stay in school.  Your dreams and more will still be there when you finish.
Reach for the stars and take the universe!

With all the stones I've stepped on along my career path, I know that none of this would be possible if it were not for God.  As I travel this journey of music, I will always put HIM first before all performances no matter what the outcome.
