Leora

My name is Jenny, and I am nineteen years old. Despite my young age, I am actually the governor of Bancroft, Iowa. In fact, I am the youngest person to ever be elected governor in the history of the United States. I live here with my parents and four siblings, and we are the largest family in the city. After all, Bancroft only has a population of about a thousand. Due to the fact that I am governor and the small amount of people, I actually know every citizen of Bancroft by name. You might be wondering how a nineteen year old was elected governor of a city. The answer to this question is relatively simple. About four months ago, a need for a governor arose, because the previous eighty-eight year old one decided to move out to Hollywood in order to pursue an acting career. I am well known in my community partly because I am the only redhead, as well as for the fact that I am the oldest child of the largest family here. I have always wanted to have a leadership position as a job, so when the citizens of Bancroft asked me if I was willing to be their governor, I immediately accepted the offer. (Thank goodness the requirement to be governor has been constitutionally changed from thirty years to nineteen years, or else Bancroft would not have had any governor!) Even though I have the responsibility of being governor all the time, I have many interests similar to those of others my age. For example, I enjoy going to the mall. I like to shop everywhere, but as governor I must only buy from places that are not frowned upon, which only include Talbots, the Gap, and Old Navy. I also enjoy reading when I have free time. At the present, my favorite books are __The Kite Runner__ and __My Sister’s Keeper__; I would recommend reading both. Thirdly, I enjoy baking, and then eating my creations immediately after. I have many hobbies, but as governor I often do not have time for them. For example, I often attend town meeting where problems and possible solutions are discussed. Also, I must go to all grand openings of stores; otherwise, I am conspicuous by my absence. Despite having so many responsibilities, I am honored to be a governor at such a young age. I am realizing my dream, and I love representing the wonderful people of Bancroft, Iowa. My REAL name is Leora, and like most others on this wiki, I am fifteen years old. Even thought the above piece is completely fictional, it does contain a few bits of pieces that are true about me. Specifically, I enjoy the hobbies mentioned above. I love to bake, especially when it comes to making chocolate desserts. Unfortunately, these foods do not usually last long, because my family and I quickly finish them off. Also, I do like reading, and my favorite books are __The Kite Runner__ and __My Sister’s Keeper__ (which I greatly recommend to everyone). Many details in the above piece are not true, and were added in order to make the character have a more exciting life than mine. I do not have a large family: I only have a sister and a tiny dog. Furthermore, I do not live in a small rural town as described, but a suburb that, despite the hustle and bustle of all the shopping, is not very exhilarating.
