Shakira Changing The World. People never realize that different kind of races can make a difference in the world. Immigrants came to the united states of American to find work and to changes, theirs lives for their families. Some of those immigrants came making a difference in the united states. People don't realize it, most people think that you have to be a certain to make a difference. One of those people that came from a different country and came to the united states in Shakira. Even tho she is a famous singer doesn't mean she didn't make a difference.

Shakira was born February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia. (She had 6 Brothers and 3 sisters). As she grows up her parents soon realized that she had a talent. She began to sing to her teachers and classmates for fun and (they gave her the nickname the belly dancer girl because of her dancing when she song). (It got around in town that she was a very good singer at a young age. So people started to invite her to sing at different advents). When she became a teenager a producer from Colombia invited her to come to an addition and she impressed them and they gave her a record deal and 3 albums, and she was only a teenager! At that point, her singing career was taking off and she was going to be very successful. During her career, she came across a thing that she didn't know that was going to happen to her. She had a big life changer when she got older. She felt that singing will bring her to successes. She believed that doing this she'll bring a lot to her parents and other family members. (shakira)

In 1997 Shakira made a big decision in her life. She wanted to expand her music career. So she moved to Miami Florida when she made that decisions she was only 20 years old, that's a young age to make big decisions like that. She knew that moving there she can become an even better singer and have a better opportunity to be heard by other producers. So she brought her parents with her to Miami and brought all the money that she made from her other albums. When they arrived she felt like it was a new begging for her musical career. She got a house for her and her parents and she went to work. She worked on an English and Spanish album which took her awhile to do but it came out to be successful. After that, she knew that she can make albums in whatever she wanted English or Spanish. So came out with a lot more albums that were on the top 30 list songs. She was very happy with what she was doing because she finally got her dream and it came true she put in the work for it to happen and it came true. Her parent was very proud of her and couldn't believe in the work. when she made a lot of albums and she was super happy with all the thing that she was doing. But then she realized something that she needed to do. ( Latino)

When she was making all her albums and winning all these awards in American she realized that a lot of problems were happing in her home country that she need to do something about it because no one else was going to. She looked into all the schools that were in Colombia and saw that a lot of kids couldn't go to school there because their parents couldn't afford it or they lived to far away. So she returned to her home county and started her new project. A famous quote by her was” we can change lives”. And she defiantly changes a lot of kids lives. Not too long ago she opened up her eight schools in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of money. That school can teach up to 1700 kids, that's a lot of kids and a really big blessing for all those kids and their family. That school has everything that you would find in a school here in American. She said that if you have a school that runs properly then your community will come together and become better. Also, she doesn't do a thing like this to show off to other people, she doesn't because that's her home she wants everyone to have the same opportunity just like she did. Also, she wants to show kids that they can make a difference just like her at any age.

A lot of people think that a lot of singers care only about their self. But that's not always true. A lot of singers care about other people more then that care about their self. I picked Shakira because she made a difference in the hole world. More Spanish-speaking people came to American because they saw that things that she did and thought that they can do the same thing which they can. She shows a great example of how to save life and make people lives better.
