Growing up, Monroe spent most of her time in foster care and in an orphanage.
In 1937, a family friend and her husband, Grace and Doc Goddard took care of Monroe for a few years.
The Goddard's were paid $25 weekly by Marilyn's mother to raise her. However, when Doc's job was transferred in 1942 to the East Coast, the couple could not afford to bring Monroe with them.

A merchant marine, Dougherty was later sent to the South Pacific; Monroe went to work in a munitions factory in Burbank, California, where she was discovered by a photographer. By the time Dougherty returned in 1946, Marilyn had a successful career as a model and had changed her name from Norma Baker to Marilyn Monroe in preparation for an acting career. During her modeling career, she had dreamt of becoming an actress like Jean Harlow and Lana Turner.

Marilyn Monroe is a good leader, because she was an inspiration to all women by recognizing her own flaws and stated that she wasn't perfect in many of her quotes. Since she had a rough childhood going from foster home to orphanage and back then when she was younger people told her that she wasn't beautiful, Marilyn Monroe had told many people that it doesn't matter where you come from and/or what it was like growing up everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way no matter how many mistakes or obstacles that occurred in your lifetime.
