Natalie Walet is a second generation member of the church as her parents are high ranking members. She, like many others, grew up around Scientology, surrounded almost constantly with other Scientologists. As a teenager, though, Walet experimented outside her church with drugs and non-Scientologist friends, but found that this lifestyle was not what she wanted. After rehabilitation, Natalie went to high school and then college, and she has led a normal life as a Scientologist. Her story shows that not all Scientologists are as odd as the most neurotic members, and Walet points out that people should get to know the organization before passing judgment.
