"Never Say Never" and "Stay Strong"


In my life I have two celebrities that are my role models. I discover with them that celebrities aren't what we think they are, sometimes when you follow someone and know his or her story, you may find a role model, someone that inspire you and make you be a better person.

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This first person has gone through a lot of things in live and have made a lot of mistakes, but everyone make mistakes and at one point in their lives regret them.

"I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character."

 He -yes is a he- grew up in Canada, he has a family who supported him at everything, when he was little he show to his mother that he has talent, this guy started playing the drums at the age of 2, the piano 6/7 and the guitar at 10. Today he is 20 and one of the most famous guy in the world. Today you may see him and think he is not a good role model  because he have been into jail and being caught doing many other things. But behind that bad boy attitude I found my role model. I'm talking about Justin Bieber, I know what you're probably thinking, but have you ever take time to know his story.


He was just another normal kid before he was discover singing on YouTube. When he was little he like to play his guitar in front of the Avon Theatre to help his mother with the payment of the apartment they used to live. After he became famous he started helping others and one time he heard the story of Avalanna, a little girl who was struggling against cancer. And Justin wanted to meet her, they were supposed to spend just a little time together but instead they spend a whole day...

For me she represent Justin Bieber heart. You could see Justin smile whenever he was around her and how much he really care about others, and not only about the fame and money. 


“You were born to be some body, maybe a vet, maybe a hero, maybe a care giver. What ever it is you were born to be something special and if you believe you can achieve”

You know that when you're a teen many things happen in your live and you have dreams, that many times people tell you that you can't make them come true or you will never achieve them... before I graduate from high school someone ones told me that I can't do what I wanted to do- I remember that those words really hurt me and they make me think twice before a made a decision- But I remember I took my iPod and play shuffle, and something weird happen. Justin song "Born To Be Somebody" was the first song that was play, I thought it was just coincidence. But then I say, causality happen and if this song appeared is because I have to follow my dreams and do what my heart tells me to do and then I remember what he once said:


He inspired people to follow their dreams and Never give up, this is what I liked the most about him. Because he make me believe in me , in my dreams. He was told that he'll never be able to sell the Madison Square Garden (and he did, because he never give up), Some days before he perform there, he got sick and even thought he was sick, Justin didn't give up and didn't postpone the concert. I've learn a lot of things since I started following him. Justin, like I said before he taught me to follow my dreams, Believe and Help others. 


                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
"If anyone tells you that you can’t live the life you imagined, you don’t have to prove them wrong—just keep on working your hardest and know in your heart that you can achieve it. Use their doubtful attitude as motivation."

Now is time for my second role model. This person is my inspiration, she's been through many things in her life and has overcome them. When she was little she was bullied and because of it she commit self harm. But after all that she went through she didn't give up and now she's not only my role model, she's also to others.

And I'm talking about Demi Lovato.

Before that smile appear she was a girl  sad, crying and trying to find a way out of the pain, she was dealing with trying to be a role model, when she didn't feel like one and hated being one. Demi kind of had the same schedule "Tour, TV Show, Album, Movie, Tour, TV Show, Album, Movie...and repeat" She didn't have time for her and "It literally end up driving me insane". The last time she end a tour her parent knew she needed help and make her go to a treatment center.


Today Demi is using her story to help other, and tell them that "Life is precious and its what you do with it that keeps you alive on the inside. It's not enough just to live and take that gift for granted. Each one of us has fears, but the more we work to overcome them, the more we are able to enjoy our lives" Demi learn to Stay Strong and fight against whatever bothers you, and this is what I like the most about her, she is not only another celebrity. She's making a diference in the life of many people: Kids, teen, adults, elderly, homosexual...everyone.

I also admire her for the passion she put in what she does and how her songs lyrics mean and get to the people who hear it.



I think this was all for today, thank you and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it :)

Media

What is the media?, Pros and Cons, Famous people and the Media

Media



The Media is everywhere, you find it in the TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, billboards, internet…-I think you got it, right? ;)-. These types of Medias are intended to disseminate messages/news to inform people. The media is something that has evolve through the years, especially with the invention of the Internet. With the Internet the news run faster and in one second a person from Alaska can know what’s going on in the Middle East. The media has it pros and cons:


Pros:
-It inform people, let them communicate with others/interact, it also help find criminals, students do better in school, better quality of life, generate employments
Cons:
-          Make people fear, cause accidents and sometimes the media doesn’t tell the whole truth- most of the time it happen to the famous people-,some students don’t  use it for school works and instead use facebook, twitter, instagram…etc.


Now, Famous People and the Media



I'm kind of obsess with knowing everything about the celebrities I like, but there’s something that I always hated when I read a “breaking news”, I don’t like when people speculate and spread false rumors, making the singers, actors, socialite… look bad and at the end of the day it comes out that it was all a lie. Also, sometimes the medias says that someone die when it’s not true. “He (media) wanna write my obituary”-Michael Jackson, Breaking News Song.

Some singers wrote songs about this theme and how they felt about being stalked the whole time and hearing false rumors, for example: Miley Cyrus, Fly on The wall- the Fly is the paparazzi-, Michael Jackson, Monster and Breaking News, The Fratellis, Tell me a lie, Rihana, S&M.

Those are examples of songs that talk about how the singers felt and think about the media, and it also let us know that we shouldn’t believe everything that it’s said in the internet, news, newspaper…
How would you feel if you where famous and you have someone behind you the whole time taking pictures and saying false things about you? 

I don't want to say that the media is a bad thing, but when is too much is too much.

Peace out :)
