Project: She's my influencer
As you know, every 8th March International Women's Day is celebrated. In this post, I'm going to ask you to write a short presentation about a woman who is a model for you. She may be a famous singer, actress, journalist, scientist, businesswoman, sportswoman or housewife. You choose, but remember to include a picture, details about her life and the reasons why she is an inspiration for you. You can use mine as an example:
Her name is Isabel Gemio. She is a TV presenter and radio journalist. She was born in Extremadura in 1961. She became very popular because she presented the TV shows " Sorpresa, Sorpresa" and " Hay una carta para tí".
In 2017, she received the Ondas Award for her career on the radio. She has got two children and the oldest, called Diego, has got a rare illness. In 2008, she set up a Foundation to help more people who suffer from rare illnesses. I admire her because she is using her fame to help people in need.
