"Twiggy. slim or obese?''

In the classes we have talked a lot about discrimination and how can that affect the population of the world. This time the question it's about obesity discrimination. For that fact the teacher showed us the example of Twiggy who is a known supermodel which is known for her skinny body and her way of being different and in some cases look like a man, not right now, but when she started her career in fashion world at the 60's.

"Aimee Mullins"

In the classes we had talked a lot about discrimination, types of it, racism and how society is affected by this. Aimee Mullins is a sucess women, pretty, has money and yes, she's an handicap person. And so what? She's an handicap but has sucess...Nobody can say, you can't do it, it's impossible, NOBODY.
And the case of Aimee Mullins, it's a case in millions! And you know why? Because she believes in herself, she said ''No Aimee, you won't not give up'' and now, she's a sucess and amazing athlete.

I didn't knew Aimee Mullins, but right now, that I know her case, I admire Aimee. For me, the most important in life it's not give up only because you have obstacles, because who stands up for a reason, who fights for his own happiness are the best...and this kind of people makes me admire them. So, of course I admire Aimee! This was what she did, she fights for the life that she wanted to have, so I just can say, for the most impossible that we think that it's the situation, WE CAN DO IT.

"New school"
Hi people...I've so many new things in my life OMG. Firstly, I want to say that I missed you but I had to going on with my life instead of staying stucked in the moment. In my new school instead of maths I have history, and economics it's replaced by EspaƱol, and I'm just loving it!
Many things are changed in my life, but that's not a reason for me to stop writing my online portfolio. So, of course I will continue with my portfolio .
With this I want to emphasize that even far away, you my friends and collegues will continue always with ''some part of me''.
