Susan Boyle

This morning I was listening to the radio and I started to become interested in a new about Susan Boyle's video with millions of hits on You Tube.
This woman surprised the judges and audience on TV's Britain's Got Talent with a strong perfomance of "I dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. Ms Boyle has now become the favourite to win the talent show. Her life will never be the same after that.
She was born with a disability and she was offended when she was a child in school. She asked the teachers for help, but she never received their support. She says "words often hurts more than cuts and bruises and the scares are still there".
She told viewers she had "never been kissed", said she had always wanted to be a singer. Susan Boyle has had a small life. She lives in the same house where she lived with her parents. She was raised there and still sleeps in the same room she did as a child. Susan Boyle, is currently unemployed, is a keen church-goer and community worker who is well-known for her karaoke perfomances. Susan Boyle's story shows us that prejudices are unfair, and that very often big talents are socially rejected.
