Let's get into it. We're going to be talking about Alison Bofa today. Alison Bofa, she was born September 22nd, 1967 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa to Brian and Claire Collier. Okay. According to Allison, her house growing up was a place of unconditional love, which she got from both of her parents. She said, Oh my god, I love that. I'm gonna do that shit when I have kids.
Just, like, take your child aside just to be like... I love that. Like you're so special. Yeah. But like you're not above anybody. You're not like more special than somebody else.

Like I love that. That's great. Sadly, despite the love and support and the happy household that they had, 10 years after Allison was born, Brian and Claire did end up divorcing. It was about 1977 when the divorce was finalized. And Allison and her brother Neil continued living with their mom. But luckily, they still saw their dad on a pretty regular schedule.

The divorce obviously created a pretty like less than ideal situation to raise two kids. But it sounds like Brian and Claire really made the best of it. They made sure that Allison and Neil always had what they needed and were always thriving. Good for them. Yeah, very mature. Allison led a pretty normal life in Port Elizabeth, where she went to collegiate high school.

During her senior year in 1985, she was named head girl, which is an honor that kind of came as a shock for her. She really expected this at all. She said, I was always considered bright, but I knew I did not apply myself to the fullest in my last few years at school. I wasn't good at any sport and I didn't really shine in any one area.

So I guess I thought I wouldn't be good enough to be a head girl. But whether she realized it or not, the teachers and the headmistress at collegiate high school thought very highly of her. They described her as a mature young woman of the utmost integrity and sound moral values.

Like the term head girl, it makes me think of like Harry Potter. Yes. And it just sounds so prestigious that I can't fully comprehend it.
