After some research on the internet and watching the "Quit Playin' Games" video for about 10 hours straight, I knew I loved the Backstreet Boys. They just struck me - they were the most talented vocal group I had ever heard, and their voices were enough to stop your heart forever! Not to mention their success story which was incredibly inspiring.

Ever since that day, I've been a devoted Backstreet fan and have never stopped adding to a growing collection of BSB posters, books, CDs, magazines, clothing and anything else you can imagine! Just this past summer, I even was lucky enough to see two BSB concerts and a live performance at the US Open. I'll never forget those amazing days that further enforced my love for the Backstreet Boys!

Aside from filling my room with endless piles of BSB merchandise, this group has had a major influence on my life. I always knew that I loved music, and up until the Backstreet Boys entered my life, I never pursued this passion. With inspiration for the Backstreet Boys combined with the help from my teachers, I started taking music lessons. Since then, I've learned to play the clarinet, trumpet, piano, and am in the beginning stages of playing the drums. I even hope to play the guitar and violin someday! I have even started to dabble in dancing and singing. I'm currently in the 9th grade and have remained an "A" student throughout thanks to the strong inspiration from the Backstreet Boys. By working hard like the Backstreet Boys have done, I hope to attend college and continue to pursue my dreams in music. So when my name is finally in lights, the first people I want to thank are the Backstreet Boys, from the bottom of my heart.
