She wasn't the 'pariah' every other teenager seemed to be when that usually was the time around an emo phase, she never really went through before. She was outgoing and confident. She never really thought about her dream job a lot, only thinking about a big place to live with a great car. She is then unexpectedly telling her family she is getting a job, as a babysitter. She has to figure out how to help these kids not to be snobby and stubborn, and also help her new friend, Jared get a job. She tries to come up with a motto, but only comes up with "The Sky Is The Limit."
