Arabic Spring in Egipt?

Arabic Spring in Egipt?

It might sound like something cute, but it´s not. This name was given by the media  to those arabic countries that has been going through a series of revolutions . These revolutions are based in putsches, and the citizens are those who run them. Poor living conditions are the cause of this situation. The protests are in the name of democracy.

President of Egipt, Mubarak, was one of the "victims" of these revolutions. 
The citizens didn´t want him anymore. He had been running the country for about 30 years and he had done nothing positive for the country. After a massive revolutions, the president Mubarak had to quit . Now the citizens are allow to vote and they are waiting for a positive change

Who am I?

My name is Laura Acuña. I ´m seventeen years old.
I was born in the beauty and amazing Barranquilla city  which makes me feel very proud.
I studied at Lourdes School. It´s an amazing school, big enough to make me feel comfortable.
I have always been into painting and creative stuff, that´s why I decided to study graphic design. 
if you asked me about my pet, I would tell you that is the best one. It´s a cute poodle. his name is Tommy and is like my son . I love him, even if sometimes he eats my things, like my glasses. his such a sweetie. That´s my Tommy.

Fortunately, I live with my mom and my dad. They have giving me all their love and I´m thankful because of that . I also have two brothers and we get alone really well. 
I love music. I listen pop, country, hip hop, r&b... My favorite singer is Britney Spears. She´s my idol. She has done things that nobody else has done. She´s a legend. 
That´s a little part of my life. If you still want to know more about me, you have to keep reading my blog the next time.
