Madel

Life Insider: Madel Liquido By: Joanne Li



What do you notice when you first meet Madel? Typically, people see her as a quiet and shy girl with a normal life. With her ordinary straight hair, brown eyes, and tan skin, you may think that she lives a normal life, but she is anything but normal! Madel Liquido came into this world early in the morning of Halloween 1996. Her whole family, well her parents, was really happy to finally meet the new addition to their family. Unfortunately, Madel’s brother, Luke, had to miss Halloween to see his baby sister. I mean, who would want to give up free candy just to see their future enemy? I’m just kidding. I am really glad that Madel was born and is here with us today.

It’s been almost 14 years since the day of Madel’s birth. She is currently attending 8th grade in Herbert Hoover Middle School. She spends around seven hours in school learning. Sometimes, she stays afterschool for activities (like cross-country) or for extra help. At home, Madel continues with her education. There are piles of papers on her desk that she has to finish by the next day for all of her classes. So much work to do with so little time! Due to the large amounts of homework and not to mention procrastination, Madel is staying up late every night trying to keep her grades up. Then, after only getting a few hours of sleep, she has to wake up early in the morning for another day of school. I think the lack of sleep and all the stress is starting to get to her. “I’m breaking out, losing my hair, getting bags under my eyes… Basically, I’m going insane! I’ll probably be in a mental institution by the end of the year!” jokes the stressed out girl. I’m praying for her to be able to finish 8th grade without having to make a trip to the mental institution or going bald.
 * Daily Life**

When she’s not at school, doing work, or pulling out her hair, you can find Madel drawing, watching TV, or reading Manga. One trait you can’t miss about Madel is that she loves art. Her artwork is absolutely AMAZING. She personally thinks that her work is just… okay (so modest). Because she loves art so much, she also really likes to watch TV. She especially enjoys watching the Simpsons and America’s Next Top Model. The creation of Homer and his family really speaks to her. She likes the art and humor in all the characters. With Tyra Banks, Madel has always enjoyed her shows. In one word, Madel describes Tyra as inspirational. “I like how Tyra takes time out of her busy schedule to boost the self-esteem of many teens.” She loves all of her shows from ANTM to her interesting talk show.

Madel has always wanted to become an artist. She will settle for any kind, but she would prefer to be a Manga artist. In order to fund this dream, she also wants to become a lawyer and a master in English Literature. Since she was a young girl, Madel has written stories in her free time. Most of them are about romance but there is a hint of action in her tales. She also believes that English will improve her career as a lawyer. An excellent array of unique vocabulary will make her appear a better lawyer than all of her rivals. Then, with the money from acting as a defense or prosecuting attorney, she will continue in her main dream as an artist. So basically, everything leads back to becoming an artist. Madel is a one of a kind person. It would be a shame to not give her a chance. Despite the quiet and shy girl that you see, Madel has a crazy side, invisible to those who don’t take the time to get to know her. Not giving her a chance would be like judging a book by its cover. Find a free spot in your //busy// schedule and find out for yourself what Madel’s true personality is.
