Touching story of Lizzie Velasquez...

K.

I found the story during my everyday gossip reasearch. It really made me think about my own problems and reconsider them as serious.

Lizzie Velasquez is only 22 years old, but looks three times older and the life experience she has is impressive.

Once she was born, her parents were told she would be unable to live on her own; they simply didn't give her any chances. She was supposed to be totally dependent on her parents, unable to learn how to walk or speak.

The disease she has is extremely rare and only 3 people in the entire world, including Lizzie, have got it. It still has got no name. The main symptom is being unable to gain weight. She is not fragile or has any eating disorders. She has to eat in every 15-20 minutes, and the total energetic value of her daily meals reaches 8000 calories.

Now, she is a student, has published a book about her fight with the undiagnosed disease and is dreaming of finding the diagnosis and naming it 'Lizzie syndrom'. What is more, she wants to become a motivational speaker and she works very hard in order to achieve the goal.

Now I see that some of my major problems seem to be minor in comparison to Lizzie's. I wish I had her strength to overcome the life difficulties.

Here is the link where you can read the story and watch some movies.

Where do I live?

My hometown is pretty small, but I think it has its own charm.

That's the place where I grew up, attended primary and secondary school, made my first friends.

It is situated about 45 km from Poznań on the way to Leszno and Wrocław, so the train transportation, which I use almost every day, is very convenient.
Kościan has got about 24.000 citizens, many of whom study or work in Poznań or Leszno, as it is a better perspective for the future.

We have few churches, roundabouts and supermarkets:P

We have a mayor who has been elected for the second time and his name is Michał Jurga.

For many of my classmates it is known from dairy products, which are really tasty:)

Maybe some of you would like to visit me?
You are always welcome;)

Books to be read, stories to be told...

There were many books that I read when I was younger, but while browsing through the top list, I found this one particulary important.

In Poland known as 'Dzieci z Bullerbyn', in the US released as 'The Children of Noisy Village', written by Astrid Lindgren, was one of my favourite. It tells a story about six children living in a tiny, remote village in Sweden.

The whole story is told by a girl named Lisa, who tells us about her life and adventures in the small and neat Swedish village Bullerby (Bullerbyn in Swedish). The village consists of three lined up houses where seven children with their parents and housekeepers live: Lisa with her older brothers Lasse and Bosse, the siblings Britta and Anna, as well as Ole with his little sister Kerstin. Astrid Lindgren not only depicts a village with a special charm, but she also creates a perfect children's world; it touches the reader especially by its simplicity which holds the deep wisdom of true human values and a great amount of fine humour.

I think that many of you have read it and appreciated as much as I have.

I'm looking forward reading other

recommendations.
