Sarah Al's Reviews > Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel
Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel
by
Author: Alek Wek
Rating: 3.5/5
The book was very informative about life in Sudan before and after the civil war. I couldn't believe how brutal some people on earth could be!, it's just inconceivable!
The massive loads of struggles Alek Wek had been through made her the successful woman she is now, I become to strongly believe that "what won't kill you makes you stronger"
I extremely felt ashamed of myself after reading her autobiography!, I felt that I haven't accomplished NOTHING in my life.
I was touched by what her father told her, he used to say to her " look, Alek, you don't have to be a scientist or a doctor or a solicitor. But whatever you choose to do, you should really love it. You should focus on it and you must stick with it. Life is not a game, although it can be fun"
Her first steps into modeling world were a struggle also, but she mad it to the top
I'd like to point out that I learned a moral out of this book, our skin color doesn't define who we are, it's our actions, ethics and values!
This book was an inspirational for me, I believe it will be to everyone else who seeks inspirations within struggle and hard times
