I even wanted to become a jockey when I’d grow up, - Ciara recalls.
However, the universe had a different plan for her, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
I used to fly often to California, during school time too – I had many many many auditions, - she says.
In 2009, Bravo took a short break – it was quite challenging to be pulled into shooting all across the continent. However, she didn’t have to stay long in her hometown. The producers of the new Nickelodeon musical series Big Time Rush organized an online audition for her and in just 24 hours, Ciara was already on-site on set in Los Angeles.
Fortunately, - Ciara confesses, - I was so busy that I simply had no time to feel homesick.
The series was very popular with the viewers and it was extended for three more seasons, the final episode airing in 2013. In 2012, the girl played a role in the series’ spin-off full-length movie, Big Time Rush, according to which the already familiar group of friends is heading to London as part of their first worldwide tour.
