CHICAGO– During my eighth birthday party, my parents surprised me with a video announcing that I would be attending my first concert to see Demi Lovato. Watch the video: I screamed, I cried – it actually makes me emotional to watch it now! I have loved Lovato since I was four years old watching her as Charlotte on “As the Bell Rings.” Enter “Camp Rock” and “Don’t Forget,” along with two older sisters who were also obsessed with her, and suddenly, I was a #1 fan.
