You know you can’t help but admire this teen star who is never ashamed to tell anyone who asks that she came from humble beginnings. She was dirt poor when she was a little a girl and was just lucky enough that her father’s invention was bought by a foreign firm and he made enough money to get them into one of those park model trailers. Then the break to star in a TV ad came to her when she was 12 and the rest, as they say, is history.

I do think that it is best to never forget where we came from. Even if we become larger than life in terms of financial and social status, our humble beginnings will be the inspiration to continually do better so as to enjoy life even more.
