Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.I lead a double life. Today is Monday. I methodically seat myself at the piano closest to the door after asking my theory professor if I might leave class 10 minutes early for an unspecified reason. He agrees, and I retreat to my piano bench. Going through the motions, I raise my hand to answer that the key of F-sharp major has six sharps and to play a D minor scale. As the professor nods in approval and turns his back to scribble notes on the white board, I nonchalantly check my BlackBerry for the 20th time: It's 12:30 p.m. Just five more minutes, I repeat to myself, five. Within those five minutes, I slowly pack up my books, slip on my coat, and disappear to the train stop a few paces from class. By 12:58, I am lounging on a comfy three-seater on...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.I love September and all that it brings: the crunch of fall leaves under my sneakers, the smell of pumpkin spice singing in the air, and the taste of my birthday cake as I savor each forkful. Maybe I'm just a college-loving weirdo, but back-to-school time instantly cheers me up. In my mind it translates to back-to-questionable-dining-hall food, back-to-procrastinating-on-my-piano-homework time, and back-to-auditioning-for-school-productions excitement. Perhaps the only thing I don't love about September is the weather change. After a summer of sparkling health, I stepped off the plane from Colombia, only to be met by a throat infection that nearly sabotaged my audition for "Sweeney Todd" at Montclair State. I'd been half-anticipating, half-dreading this audition since May and had been preparing for the role of Johanna, Sweeney's yellow-haired daughter. The fact that I sounded like a drunken rooster every time I opened my mouth to...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.When I turned the key to my grandmother's door a few weeks ago, I expected to find her waiting for me behind it as she always did. Instead, all I found was an apartment full of memories. Ever since I was a child I've come to Colombia during my summer vacations to visit my grandma. This year I came to accompany my mom and aunt as they put her apartment up for rent and parted with many of her belongings. I expected to feel abandoned. I expected to feel an even stronger hurt from the loss I suffered a little over a year ago. I expected so many things that, thankfully, never came to light. Before I left New Jersey, I was obsessing over the number of auditions I would miss while I was gone, the potentially important phone calls that would go straight to voice mail,...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.I went into the O section of my phonebook and pressed "send" expecting to hear the voice of Mr. Jack O'Connor—gifted high school English and drama teacher, play director, mentor, and friend. In my yearbook, O'Connor had written to call him anytime because he would always be there for me. He kept to his word, readily available for conversations ranging from the lighthearted to the serious; from the Madonna "Glee" episode to my recent auditions. This call would concern our trip to see "A Little Night Music," starring Bernadette Peters that Tuesday night. It was Saturday already, and we had been looking forward to this show for weeks. Ring…ring…click. "Hi, O'Connor!" A moment passed before a different voice, a female voice, nervously replied, "Hi, Allison. This is Jack's cousin, Michelle. I don't know how to tell you this, but Jack had...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.Constant pouting, spastic crying spells, and the occasional desire to croon to “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter. If you're under 20 and suffering from these symptoms, you may be experiencing a midteen crisis: the heartbreaking realization that you've hit puberty and still aren't starring in your own Disney show. You may feel like you've been hit by a speeding double-decker bus, but you're really just moping on the couch surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers. I know this because I've been there. I had my first catastrophe at 14 years old: An agent came to my high school production of “Once on This Island” and requested an appointment with me. Hopeful that this was my big break into the industry, I walked into the agent's office, enthusiastically performed a song from “Wicked,” did my best reading of the sides provided, and didn't get signed. She explained that...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J.I remember my first print audition like it was yesterday: I was 11 and thought I was so cool for leaving class early to go into the city. I wore my favorite outfit: a cute orange tank top with a sparkly new pair of jeans from Kids R'Us. I would have to walk into the studio alone because the odds of finding parking in Manhattan were about as good as the odds for winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Terrified, I walked in to see the tan, blue-eyed model I envied from the Limited Too catalogs waiting on line. She had a huge color portfolio, an agent logo on her résumé, and all the confidence in the world. I had one black-and-white headshot, no agent logo, and, suddenly, a lot of doubt. I never felt more uncomfortable in my body than in that moment. No matter...

Allison Strong, Union City, N.J."April showers bring May flowers." Imagine that phrase was a song that summed up the rainbow highs and lows of my past year. Press play. On April 30, 2009, I lost my grandmother—one of the biggest loves of my life and the Auntie Mame of my small family. A few weeks before Christmas 2008, she suffered two strokes that left her completely paralyzed, and six months later a third one took her from us. Mamita, as we all lovingly called her, was a youthful 94 years old. Now stop and press repeat. On April 9, I lost my 13-year-old sheepdog-terrier mutt, Magic, to prostate cancer. We had known since July that his cancer was aggressive, but since he outlived the local vet's expectations, we shrugged it off as a misdiagnosis. But after an impromptu visit to my veterinarian cousin Marcy in Brooklyn the first week of April, my...
