From Wondery, I'm Virginia Matson and this is Who's Amazing Life.

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark on the world,

they were people like you and me still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows. You might be a musician, or an athlete, a scientist, or a painter.

You may know what the person accomplished later in life, but now you can experience everything they faced along the way.

From challenges and heartbreak, to triumphs and excitement, all the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world.

There will be clues to who you are, so pay attention, but only at the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as the dancer.

Imagine you're seven years old and you're racing to get the dishes done as quickly as you can.

And your family? You guys make a lot of dirty dishes. There's mom, you, your five brothers and sisters.

Yeah, a lot. But tonight, you keep your head down. You scrub those plates and bowls until they shine.

Because you have been looking forward to tonight all week. You did all your chores. You finished your homework early. You even helped make dinner.

All because tonight, you get to watch family matters. It's your all-time favorite show.

You make an announcement for your mom and all of your brothers and sisters to hear.

Nobody bother me for the next 30 minutes.

All your brothers and sisters nod and shuffle off to their rooms. Everyone except Erica.

You're no-at-all big sister. She looks at you and squints her eyes.

I got the TV tonight. Your blood boils.

I already asked mom and she said I could have it. I'm older than you, so what I say is the highway.

You hate it when she does that. But she is your big sister, so she calls the shots.
