Ugly Betty

I am so sad that my favorite television show Ugly Betty has been cancelled. It has all the elements of a fun show - - beauty, fashion, and drama. I am most drawn to it because I feel a deep connection with the main character Betty Suarez.

I am the child of immigrant parents. I eat carbs and am a midget compared to tall and thin counterparts. I have unruly brows. I am often overlooked by my prettier and more social sister. I work harder than most to take care of my family. I worry a lot. I was not raised to be an independent, strong businesswoman but a caring, connected person. I am unsure of myself but I keep on going. Shoot, I even have a poncho only mine is from Guatamala not Guadalajara.

Every week, I have watched Betty face the same tough problems that I face in my day-to-day life with family, friends, and the workplace. In the end, she always comes up on top because she stays positive and works hard.

Betty, I will miss you dearly. I can only hope that you are moving on to bigger and better things...so you can inspire other Bettyheads to do the same!
