Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over--or plod through--all the crap along the way. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom\/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on \u003ci\u003eGlee\u003c\/i\u003e, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSorry: \u003cbr\u003e- All those times I scrawled \"I HATE MY MOM\" in my journal. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along--we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side.\u003cbr\u003e- At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them.\u003cbr\u003e- Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot Sorry: \u003cbr\u003e- That I don't always get along with everyone. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day.\u003cbr\u003e- Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it.\u003cbr\u003e- Getting my financial disasters out of the way early--before I was married or had a family--so that the only credit score that I wrecked was my own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, \"There's still a thirteen-year-old girl inside of me making detailed lists of how I can improve, who's never sure of my own self-worth.\" \u003ci\u003eSorry Not Sorry\u003c\/i\u003e is for that thirteen-year-old in all of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNaya Rivera\u003c\/b\u003e is an actress and singer from Valencia, California.
