Being A Celebrity Is Not Always Rewarding
A celebrity is someone widely famous, usually in the entertainment industry, due to their exposure to the media. They tend to be pressured to be constantly taking care of their image so as not to show their flaws, and portray themselves as perfect beings to the public eye, which is the very reason why scandals arise when they do something "wrong" or out of the ordinary. Some problems that come with fame are related with scandals, cyberbullying, kidnappings, extortion, threats, ill-intentioned hatred, potential mental illnesses, self-esteem issues, among others. Out of all these, there is a strong relation between depression, low self-esteem, cyberbullying and ill-intentioned, which are all linked to the negative messages and comments that celebrities can receive from both fans and haters in response to every single thing they do, more so in Eastern cultures, where people tend to be harsher with others regarding beauty standards. A recent example of this is Sulli's case: she was a prominent figure in the k-pop industry who quickly rose to fame in 2009 with the k-pop group f(x), then left it in 2014 to pursue an acting career, until she took her life on October 14th, 2019 in Seongnam, South Korea. The media reported that she had been suffering depression for a while due to the several hateful comments she was receiving on social media, and SM Entertainment, the talent agency that represented her, neglected her mental health and did not try to counteract or eliminate the hate messages thrown at her. With this, it can be pointed out that celebrities do not always count with their fans and/or agencies' support. Also, another problem celebrities have to deal with are scandals. Any media, be it a magazine or a television show, can and will take any carelessness a celebrity has in order to try and be the first to leak the "news" and get the public's attention to get more sales or viewers, thus making more money out of it, regardless of the harm they might be doing to the person's image or reputation in the process. In conclusion, being a celebrity is not exactly an easy task due to the consequences it brings to have such a public life, which demands maintaining a good image and working hard to have some influence, and it all can be affected by the smallest oversights. In addition, living in constant social pressure makes these people susceptible to mental illnessess, depression being the most common. And for all the reasons above, it must be said that everyone should be more sensitive with celebrities, whether we like them or not, because they are like any other human being: they can feel and suffer just like everyone else, and despite what is shown to the public, they are not perfect nor immune to destructive criticism. So, if you're not a fan, leave them alone, and if you are a fan, show your support to help them overcome the negatives.

Although they never invested in mass advertising, the brandy's popularity was such that even in Managua it became the favorite. However, the appearance of the Silver Rum of the Flor de Caña. The aggressive publicity, and the slogan of the drink "for very men," by Ron Plata, and the disinterest of the Rodríguez Blen family of transcending the family business model, were the factors that ended this liquor. c) In 1938, Rafael Víctor Jiménez Zamudio created the company Refrescos Pascual, S.A.

5. Write a reflection of 3 paragraphs (introduction, development, conclusion):
My Experience as a Senior in High School Education is something basic for the development of the human being; It starts from birth, being taught by our parents who leave our education to the teachers when we are old enough to attend a school. The teachings are found in any aspect of life, from a small observation in what others do, to a class taught by a teacher. Moreover, it is for these same reasons that I affirm that in this year I have learned more than what I have done in my whole life, and I am not only talking about the academic field. Being "senior" really did not influence me to develop as a person, but it did make me observe in others what I never wanted for myself. Likewise, it made me feel a little identified in a large group, and therefore, I began to notice or relate to people I did not even know existed in these 5 years of school stay. Although as a senior the activity that I liked most was the retreat, and although it was completely ruined at the end of it, it does not mean that I did not enjoy everything that has been done. In conclusion, the activities that I have done and seen as a senior have helped me to find myself and define how I want to be and what I want to be. It also helped me to get to know the teachers that accompany the whole generation a little more. 6. Write a letter to your classmates as you approach graduation. I have been with almost all of you since the beginning of our high school and I know that I did not get to know almost anyone, but do not blame me, before I had no space in my mind and heart for more than five people. I know that this year I did not try to make new friends or even interact with someone other than Naomi, but I do not regret it, you all already have your groups of friends and being like a third wheel is not pleasant. This year has not been the best for me speaking academically, but at least I thank you for not making it so boring, I had a lot of fun (not only for you) spending my last year here although among my plans was not the fact of continuing in this school . I believe that what I learned most was that not everything can be done even if you put too much effort into it, and in the same way, several things can be achieved even if you do not put much effort into doing them. I know that none of us knows what the future will prepare for us, but with all my heart I hope we can meet our goals and be happy from the heart.
