Samantha also talked about the importance of sports, “I think sports really has a big part to play in growth. I have seen all around me that when you are into sports, you just have this kind of discipline and resilience. You put in the hard work. A sportsperson will always stand out in the crowd.”

I thought I was having a hard time when I started rehearsing. But then when I’d see the work ethic that this girl had and what she was battling, that really inspired me.”
