I was just the youngest in the family, and most in desperate need of attention.

I was the eldest child, so I know how it feels to have attention shared with a sibling.

I wanted to show my maturity. The criticism I got made me grow up. It motivated me.

From a young age, I wanted to differentiate myself from my older siblings.

Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me.

Growing up, I wanted desperately to please, to be a good girl.

I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.

To be honest, I was kind of a shy kid growing up.

My brother and I, we were both relatively good-looking guys growing up, but we had our awkward stages, where we were just hard to look at.

For months, my parents had been trying to prepare me for the arrival of a real sibling. They had given me a doll to play with and encouraged me to take care of her. And when the baby, a little boy they named Rahm, finally arrived, they encouraged me to help take care of him, too.
