Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll

Shakira (www.shakira.com)

She is the daughter of Nidia of Carmen Ripoll Torrado (Barranquilla descent Spanish / Catalan and Italian) and William Mebarak of Lebanese descent, though born in New York. At the age of eight she began to write and compose songs, some background autobiographical, as dedicated to her brother killed in traffic accident or dedicated to her father (Your dark glasses). He participated for the first time in the contest televised Seeking Child Artist in the year 1988 (in the regional chain of the Colombian coast Telecaribe), which won contest for three consecutive years. For ten years, Shakira was rejected for the choir of her school for her pronounced "vibrato" toward highlight of her companions. Among the ten and thirteen, Shakira became a local celebrity after participating in various festivals. As a result, she met a theatrical producer, who helped to make themselves known outside of Barranquilla. Understand also, coincidentally, a Sony executive Colombia, who decided after a trial to promote the singer in his own production. The hearing of some films are not convinced in principle to the leaders of the same, but after listening to live Shakira, she was hired to record three albums. (www.shakira.com)

Shakira is my hero because she is good person with anyone. She likes to help people in need, such as children and the elderly with her foundation Bare Feet. It’s very generous and conscious, and she takes with each concert and donates money to the poor people who have nothing. She is pretty and sings very well. I like her songs and dances arabe. She is also understandable and is a good friend, I like also her name and Colombian accent. Also, I like her way of being. Also, that she loves children with cancer and who are suffering from other kinds of things. Also, as highlighted in her career as soloists. My favorite sing is called "Underneath your Clothes." I like her clothes and dress like this.

I think that people should take the example of her because she helps so many people in need, and is a nice person who is responsible and conscious. Many people should be like her because there are a few people in the world who do not understand or HELP people because of discrimination or because they believe it is a waste of time. But Shakira sees it as a hope more for the poor people and families who are suffering to see their children suffering from cancer and other illnesses. I think that people should take this kind of thing very seriously because every day the families of these poor children suffer more and more because they need to have money to pay for prescriptions or hospitals to keep in constant care. I think that Shakira has made many good things for these people and these families will appreciate from day to day her big help.
