The Little Girl Who Didn't Want To Get Fat

 


     Isabelle Caro was a French model and actress. Her dream was always to be famous someday. Unfortunately she started suffering from anorexia since she was thirteen. Her mother suffered from severe depression. Isabelle's mother didn't want too see her growing and she measured her height everyday. In 2006, she slipped into a coma and the doctor said she wouldn't survive but Isabelle recovered and continued fighting with her disease. Caro wanted to let other girls know how difficult and dangerous this disease is, so she participated in a small campaign of a clothing line named Nolita in which she posed nude showing her skeletal body overly thin. This really shocked many people in the world including me. She had its ups and downs but at one point her body could take no more. At the age of 28, Isabelle, died. Later her mother, Marie Caro, committed suicide due to her feeling of guilty. Definitely, this sad story has impacted my life. I always wanted to be a model and now I know that in the fashion world there are some rules in diets that we believe that are simple and can cause death. It's important to be focused on this disease and not let this end with ourselves. We all have strengths and weaknesses and we have to accept ourselves as we are. Value and love yourself!

From a dream to a nightmare

   This film is one of the most exciting of action and suspense. This is about a girl who wanted to go on a trip with her best friend to France. Her father accepted her condition upset letting her go. When they arrived at the airport in Paris both met Peter who decided to share a cab and invited them to a party. Then, Kim found out that her best friend lied saying that their parents would be in the appartment with them. When Kim is talking to her dad on the phone saw that her best friend is being abducted by a stranger. Kim's father, Bryan, was a former CIA operative so he recorded all. Since then, began the process of searching for his daughter. This movie teaches us that we must be alert and malicious because not everyone is good in life. We have to go beyond, thinking about the consequences that can cause any decision that we take. We are surrounded by good people but also by bad people. Being kidnapped is quite difficult and sad not only for yourself also for your parents. Taken, shows what a father can make to save his daughter from danger. I recommend this film to all those teenagers and those parents because it opens our eyes to know that things have worsened and that the world isn't pink.

The Butterfly Circus

     This movie really has made a huge impact on my life. If you believe everything that people say about you, that's what you'll be. The protagonist,Will, was a man with no arms and no legs. He started working on a circus where was humiliated and mocked because he was a person without limbs. When he began to believe in himself he could accomplish things that he never would have thought to achieve. Nothing is impossible. When you really want something, obstacles become small and nothing can stop you. There's no barrier that can stop the fighter. This film has a rather positive message that many people should apply and analyze. Literally, we have everything and even though, we complain. While, other people who have nothing, who have lost any part of their body are still grateful remaining positive with their heads held high. Actually, Will exists. He's real name is Nick Vujicic. He was born with tetra-amelia syndrome. Nick has traveled around the world giving positive and motivational speeches to those people who have a disability. He said: "God can use any willing heart to do His work and God is big enough to overcome any and all disabilities." Definitely he's a role model. Faith moves mountains and with God in our lives and our hearts we will miss anything.

Outside Class

     Last Tuesday we had a class outside the classroom. We admire the beautiful campus of the UPR of Cayey. It was pretty unusual, broking up the monotony. The students were amazed and the class became even more interesting. It was a calm environment where you can easily develop your ideas to make a great essay asked by the professor. All the professors should put on practice these methods because it facilitates the learning process of the students while we enjoyed the beautiful nature of our Puerto Rico.
