Is there anybody going to listen to my story? All about the girl who came to stay...
My life should be like a fairytale, I want it to play out like movie. The handsome prince saves the princess and they run off together, or the gorgeous actor sweeps the unknowing actress off of her feet. My life, to me, is a fantasy world, where reality and fiction ride on a very thin line between each other.
November 8, 1991. 1:24 AM. Pittsburgh Allegany Hospital welcomed Rachel Elizabeth Leishman, me, that morning, and the world was in for something new. Growing up, I was the annoying little sister who chased around her brother and his friends and begged to be in their movies, as they mimicked the actors they all saw on television. I had decided subconsiously that I was to be something bigger than a small town girl, I wanted my name in lights. The youngest of three, twenty years younger than the oldest, and the oddest child that had walked the Earth, that was the definition of who I was growing up in New Castle. I had a lazy eye and had to wear giant glasses, because my mother was determined to make sure I was a dork, as if my personality couldn't do that for me alone. But I still had friends and loved them all. My life was just as anyone else's in New Castle, Pennsylvania, until my mother told me, at the age of ten, that we were moving to California.
It was the greatest thing that happened to me, I got to finally experience life as I should. Hollywood became my haven and I turned into a typical Californian girl, every sentence having like in it and Dude became a regular accurance. I was happy, until I had to move again, at fifteen. I left my best friends, the few people who understood when I had a favorite actor, who stuck by me when I acted as if I was retarded. They were my shoulders and I was leaving them. In North Carolina, I found friends, people who acted like me as well, but it still wasn't Los Angeles. I have one more year, and when the class of 2010 graduates, I'll be on a plane back to LA to attend USC school of Film and Television to make my dreams come true.
