In a home of 13 kids, finding who you truly are is like finding an invisible person in a sea of people, like finding a pacific viperfish in the Atlantic Ocean, like finding a needle in a haystack. Near Impossible. It feels like everyday, when I, Allie Weatherby, step through the double doors leading to the grand foyer of the gigantic mansion made of acacia wood that I, along with my 12 siblings live in, I become invisible. I think, my true self should be a ninja, because nobody pays attention to me, and I've gotten pretty good at getting around unnoticed, though, its not that hard. Don't believe me? Let me introduce you to the rest of my family.

First, my oldest sibling, Jake. Jake Weatherby is your perfect stereotype of a 18 year old boy. Tall, tanned and muscular, he is crushed on by every girl in the 12th grade at our school, since it doesn't hurt that he is the blonde-haired, blue-eyed captain of the football team that has never been turned down on a date in his whole life. His so-far success through life has made him into our parents "role model" of a child. And, of course, when his grade card came out, his straight A average turned him from the role model to our parents pride and joy. His favorite color is green, and he has green banners hanging everywhere on his walls.

Next oldest is Orchid, and at age 17, she is the smartest person I know. Her room is filled with bookshelves from floor to ceiling, and I think she has over 10,000 books. Anywhere not covered in books is filled with academic awards or rough drafts of books waiting to be published. Everyday, she talks at the dinner table of her dreams of becoming an author, and as the valedictorian of the junior class, my parents rewarded her with even more books to add to her collection. She is tall and pretty, with brown eyes and wavy brown hair that runs a few inches past her shoulders. Her favorite color is cyan, and her room is decorated with fresh orchids.

After Orchid, there is Rose, 16 years old, model and aspiring fashion designer. She has the closet every girl on earth dreams of. Racks and shelves of shirts and jackets and skirts and shoes, all organized by color and occasion. Rose has a room connected to her Paris-styled abode filled with with fabrics and ribbons that she uses to create her fashion masterpieces. My parents send her to Paris annually to shop and do research on the latest fashions. She is your typical french fashionista. Long, curly brown hair with bright green eyes, and a few freckles sprinkled on her nose and cheeks, she never leaves home less than her best.
