People's Lives

These days, "Draw My Life" videos have been popular on Youtube. Many youtubers have been uploading videos which are for introducing their histories. Today, I watched this video and was really moved.


     She is the one of the most successful girls on Youtube now and often appears on fashion magazines. She is an ideal fashion and beauty icon for many girls. Today, I knew about her more. Her life has not been easy, and she had to overcome many difficulties so far. She was born in Mexico. Her family illegally moved to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 6. She explained how tough and scary those days were. Her family jumped fences to cross the border and secretly slept in people's garages for many nights. They crossed a river in the middle of the night and ran. After successfully moving to the U.S, her family started living in a trailer. When she was in elementary school, she experienced a death from her friends. When she was in high school, she attempted suicide after breaking up with her boyfriend and was depressed for a year. After high school, she joined the U.S. army because she didn't have enough money to go to college. After she got trained at stations in some states, she stayed in Iraq for 15 months. When she was driving a combat car, her team was attacked by a bomb. She was very close to dying. After getting out of the U.S. military, she found a liking for Youtube. She started uploading Youtube videos, and she finally appeared on Seventeen magazines. Now she is a wife, a mother of a beautiful boy, and CEO. She is truly a successful woman.
