Story of My Life
Ruby Karp
"It Starts With What I Knew.
"Ever since I knew enough about the world to know what I wanted to be when I grew up, I knew what it would be: famous. I wanted to hear people scream my name, saying 'OMG, that’s Ruby Karp!' I didn’t care if I would get paid; I just wanted to see my name in lights.
"And I loved musicals. The songs spoke to me: ‘Popular’ from Wicked, the entire soundtrack of Legally Blonde, even The Lion King, which I went to see with my friend Paul. Every time my mom said we would be taking a car trip, I would get excited because I could listen to my iPod. Music spoke to me. I sang all the time at home, and me and my BFF would put on performances for our Moms and their friends in my BFF’s living room. As a 4 year old, my singing voice was not that strong but as soon as I could, I forced my mom to put me in musical theater at my school’s After School program (and I still take it to this very day). I also made my mom put me in ballet, which I HATED. The teacher was mean and made the act all about her and it bored me to DEATH. I think I thought that ballet was hip-hop. I liked THAT way better."
The Great Leap Forward: Thoughts on Turning 11
Ruby Karp
"So, I’m turning 11 next week (Mom, don’t forget, my birthday is August 30) and I’ve been obsessing about it all summer. Here are some things that I’ve been thinking about.
1. Oh no. I’m getting older. HERE COMES CRANKY RUBY.
2. Yay, a new school year, I’m going to be in sixth grade. I’M PUMPED!
3. In two years, I can be on Facebook. FINALLY.
4. Maybe this is the year I become taller than my mom, which means I can finally raid her closet.
5. NOOOOO! I CAN’T ORDER OFF THE KIDS MENU ANY MORE! Darn!
6. I bet when I am 11, I will be able to beat my sleeping-for-more-than-11- hours record.
7. Wow. That year when I was 10? That went by FAST.
8. DID SOMEONE SAY GROWING PAINS? GRRRRRRR.
9. As of today, I still have 3 more days as a 10-year-old!!!! I better live it up! Whoop-whoop!
10. I’m totally hoping I can get my bedtime extended another half-hour.
11. Dude, I’m going to be 11. That’s friggin’ cool."
