doesn't mean I have to miss out

on what the world has to offer.

This is Picture Day

Abbey Bominable.

Abbey Bominable is the daughter

of the Yeti,

and she's, like,

my favorite character

because she's really blunt,

plus she has a cool accent,

so 7, 6, and 4,

then 4, then two.

Michelle, voice-over: I want

to experience, you know, like,

working and... and romance

and partying and all that stuff,

going to bars, going to museums.

20, 21, 22, 23...

23 dolls.

Yay. I'm in doll heaven.

Michelle, voice-over: I'm ready

for the uncensored world...

you know what I mean?

Even the good, bad,

and the ugly...

so I went and got a job,

uh, working for this woman

and a, um... a post office,

and every Wednesday and Friday,

I would come in

and wash my hands and say,

"What do you want me to do?"

and I would do it.

I would do it to the best

of my abilities,

and sometimes I would get

a little nervous

and a little bit, "Oh, I feel

like I'm not doing this right."

I did all these little things,

apparently.

Like, I made excuses when

they said I did something wrong.

I freaked out.

I went into another room

and cried,

and then I got fired from it.

That's basically my first

job experience.

The really pathetic thing is

that it wasn't even a real job.

It was training.

I got fired during training.

Like, uh...

Julie, voice-over: The thought

that Michelle had was,

"If I can get fired from that,

where do I go from here?

What do I do now?"

Like when you wake up

behind the bar

Trying to remember

where you are

Julie, voice-over:

She certainly does feel

that the struggles and losses

in her life

have, um, helped define her.

Each and every one of you

has the talent

and the ability to create

your own life.

Know yourself and know

all the challenges you face

and don't put yourself

on the sidelines.

Not everybody's

gonna understand you

or see you as capable,

or, in some cases,

they may even pity you,

God forbid,

but you can't let that

stop you from being

the most important person

in your own world.

You know, all people

are great in their dreams.

The point that I want

for you guys

is to be important

in your own life,

not just in your dreams,

but in your real life,

you know, that it is,

in fact, up to you.

Perfect diploma

to Michelle Anne Smith.

Michelle, voice-over:

I'm gonna miss this place,

but in some ways I feel like

I've almost outgrown it.

I want to leave,

and I want to take on the world.

The world will be my burrito.

Hi, Fran. Hi, Maxwell.

Michelle, voice-over: I would

wake up, go on the computer,

take my meds, have some coffee,

go on the computer,

take a shower,

go on the computer,
