*Lisa's POV*
Today is just another day in the orphanage. Maggie wants all of the orphans to clean our rooms and make our beds. Nothing bad, just cleaning up. We're not very rebellious kids. If we do what we're told, we get a pizza party.

We all got to work after breakfast. We all had fancy omelets from Trump Tower Hotel. A pizza party will be awesome because nobody in the orphanage has ever tasted pizza.

*2 Hours Later*
Everything is done. Our rooms are cleaned up and the beds are all made. Maggie is a sweet lady. She's not like Miss Hannigan from Annie. She is kind, intelligent, not a drunk, probably in her mid-40's. We celebrate Christmas, Easter, Independence Day, New Year's, and all other holidays because we go with Maggie to church every Sunday.

After I was born, my birth parents left on the orphanage steps. Maggie took me in as her own as well as the girls. I'm going to miss them a lot while I'm away. My sisters came upstairs to see me. Josie said, "Lisa, we're going to miss you." "I'm going to miss you guys, too, including Maggie." Jessie said, "We'll be just a phone call away." "I know, Jess," I replied. Tears came out of all of our eyes, and I said, "Group Hug," while we shared tears. As I pull away, Jessie and Eliza helped with my things.

As I walked out the door with Ryder, a tall African-American guy by the name of Desmond helped me putting my things in the limo. Rochester was a pretty nice city, but instead, I coming to LA to become a singer. Ryder asked, "Lisa, how long have you sang like that when L.A. adopted you?" Lisa replied, "Honestly, I started singing when I was about 6. I sing when I'm stressed with school and sports."
