The NBA Season

Hi readers,

This time I had the opportunity to write about whatever y want, so I've chosen to write about my opinions about the Nba in this season. For the ones that don't like the Nba or the basketball in general I'm sorry, but I'll try to write about another different topic next time.

 I'm a supporter of two different teams in the Nba, the OKC Thunder and the Los Angeles Lakers. I'm a Los Angeles Lakers fan since I was little because it was the only Nba team I knew, but I started being a OKC Thunder fan because of one player, Kevin Durant. He is my favorite player in the Nba, in my opinion he is the best. I also like player like Russel Westbrook and Serge Ibaka but he is the main reason of me following this team.

I'm really disappointed with them this season. After the draft I thought that the Los Angeles Lakers had a chance to get into the playoffs but if they continue playing like this they definitely won't be in there. About the OKC Thunder, I understand the bad start they had because their best two players were injured and that affected them a lot. But I'm optimistic because now that they have recovered from their injuries they have won five of their last four games.

In my opinion the MVP of the season up to now should be Anthony Davis. His stats are incredible and I don't think no one should doubt about my opinion. If you do, be sure to leave your opinion in the comments below.

Here I leave you the best dunks of the 2013-2014 season, enjoy them!

Malala Yousafzai

After the work we've done in groups about the Nobel Prizes in the last years we had to choose a person who we like or has attracted our attention. The one that I have chosen is Malala Yousafzai.

For the ones who don't know, Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize recipient (she received it when she was 17 years old). She is known mainly for human rights advocacy for education and for women in her native province of northwest Pakistan, where the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Yousafzai's advocacy has since grown into an international movement (Wikipedia).

I've chosen her because of the hard work she has done to gain the right of females to go to school in freedom. She started with this hard work when she was stopped and shot while going to school, the reason for this is because she wrote an article to the BBC about the situation in there, so the Taliban tried to kill her. But she never stopped trying. Before receiving the Nobel Prize she was also nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize.

I think she is an example to follow, because of the hard effort she has done for all of the female in her region, and that also led to all the females in the world.

Violence against women

Hi readers,

For the ones that who don't know the 25th November, was a really important day, for all of us but especially for women. Yesterday was the day to say no to violence against women, and this is a really serious topic to talk about.

 For example, one in three women (33 %) has experienced physical and/or sexual violence since she was 15 years old. Many of us think that violence against women only happens in other countries, but the information was collected in Europe, so definitely this violence is nearer than we think.

And this can happen anywhere, anytime, even from we don't expect it to happen. This problem has to be solved, we can't continue ignoring it. Although women claim even more than before, some continue suffering this type of violence and they don't say it because they are afraid of their couple or the person that hurts them.

If you're a women and you suffer this type of violence, don't doubt, say it, because your situation could aggravate. And if you know about someone who suffers it don't doubt neither say it.
