Sending you some FIAHHHH and love from NYC, girl! See you in a couple days!!!! We [heart] you!!”

That the dreams of a little girl from Barranquilla, Colombia, they were made of something of what dreams are made of and I’m gonna be there, giving it all,’” she told 60 Minutes. When she hits the field, all eyes will be on her – including those of her biggest fans, Kelly Ripa and Anna Kaiser.
