If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.

You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.
Clay Aiken
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
