Gerald Levert, singer: Mother: Martha L. Levert

Nina, 12, California

» My mom once told me to always believe in yourself. Even if your chances are slim, or everyone else doesn't believe in that, people will look up to you because you're sticking to what you believe in, and they will admire that in you. That was the best advise I ever got from my mom.
