I'm such a tomboy - I was raised in the South - and I also really wanted to work in New York, being so different from California, though it was a freezing-cold winter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I came into Chicago in winter - I'd never been so cold in my life! I was very homesick, and a poor student at that time. America seemed so different and so filled with amazing things - and almost all of them were out of my reach.
I came from the South with a mother who was hard working, so I love going to work every day.
In California, I'm more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I'm in New York.
I was raised in New York and then moved to Miami in my teenage years, returning to New York later on.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I split my time between the West Coast and the East.
I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.
I grew up in Southern California, Simi Valley. I've lived in the same house all my life.
I did all of California from north to south. I did Florida from north to south. I went to the Midwest. I spent time discovering the culture because I thought I was going to stay in America for only two years. Then I decided to come to New York.
I'm a third generation Californian, and there's a lot of talented, good-looking guys in California, so I'm just happy to be working and lucky to be working.
I was born in California and moved around a lot. When I was 17, I moved to Boston because my mom got a job there. The moment I went to Boston, everything just felt right and fell into place on how I wanted it to be.
