Eleanor Expresses Herself and What Motivates Her:
Hi. I'm Eleanor Douglas. I am the oldest in my family of four siblings, mom, and evil step-dad Richie :( He has kind of ruined my life after he became my new "dad". Ugh! Did I mention he kicked me out for a year to go live with some random people I barely know?!! Yup. My life was pretty bad, because I moved to this tiny house all of us can barely fit in and into this preppy neighborhood where everybody knows everbody. It was awful, until I met Park Sheridan. Park changed my life and helped me through my, you know,"family situation". He was my love, life, and motivation to keep going. Thanks to him I got out of the trash hole and am now free, all thanks to the one you stood by me and loved me for who I am.
Park Expresses Himself and What Motivates Him:
Hey all. I'm Park Sheridan. I have one younger brother, Josh, and then there are my parents. We all aren't that close, but we are good enough to just tolerate each other and care. My life has been pretty good, nothing actually bad has happened. The best part happened when Eleanor came into my life. She was the best thing that had ever happened to me. She was my love. Life. Motivation. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't meet her. She made my life brighter and happier. Eleanor Douglas made me a better person, each and every day I was with her. :D
