EASTER

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion. The Council decided Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It is commonly thought that the word Easter comes from a pagan figure called Eastre. The only problem with this theory is that it has no basis in history. The same is true of the origin of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs—no one knows for sure how these things became a part of Easter observances.The legend of the Easter bunny bringing eggs appears to have been brought to the United States by settlers from Germany. The German tradition of the Easter bunny migrated to America in the 1700s. The Easter bunny has become the most commercially recognized symbol of Easter in the United States.

DIFFICULT

MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997,  in Mingora. In 2007, when Malala was 10 years old, the Taliban began to control the Swat Valley and girls were banned from attending school and cultural activities. Determined to go to school, Malala started to blog anonymously, she wrote about her life under the Taliban rule. After three years, she and her father became known for their determination to give Pakistan girls access to a free quality education. But on the morning of October 9, 2012, she was shot by the Taliban and she was seriously wounded. After the shooting, her incredible recovery resulted in a global outpouring of support for Malala. Today there is ''Malala Fund'', an organization that through education empowers girls to achieve their potential and become confident and strong leaders. 

MY ROLE MODEL

My biggest inspiration is Michael Jackson. Known as the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson was a best-selling American singer, songwriter and dancer. As a child, Jackson became the lead singer of his family's group, the Jackson 5. He went on to a solo career of astonishing worldwide success, sadly he died just before launching a comeback tour in 2009. Michael Jackson was known for his philanthropic activity. His philanthropy manifested not only in the support of numerous charitable organizations and initiatives, but also in his keen empathy and willingness to help individual people in need. The record of Michael Jackson’s charitable activities is extremely long. In January of 1985  Michael wrote charitable single “We Are The World” aimed to raise funds for the relief of famine and disease in Africa. In 1992, Michael Jackson established his own charitable organization: Heal The World Foundation and besides his own foundation, Michael was known to publicly and privately support the others organizations. 

Kind, gentle, caring, energetic, sociable and funny

When I was very young, my mother was a big fan of Michael Jackson, so I always listened to his song and I grew up with his music. Even now, I keep listening to him, because his songs have a beautiful meaning, my favorite one is ''Human Nature''.
