     A: Actress       F: Friend

    A: Oh,I wish could be famous
    F: Maybe you could become famous for another reason, besides acting. What about Eva Perόn?
    A: What about Eva Perόn? Or should I say "Evita", didn't Madonna play her in the movie?
    F: Yes, she did. Evita was an actress, but she became famous for being the First Lady of Argentina. Maybe you could try another approch,.
    A: We are complete opposites, I mean she
     grew up very poor with five brothers and sisters, a mother, and no father.
    F: Yes, I know your parents are rich and you are an only chirld. Did you know Eca's mother did not send her to school, but made her work in the kitchens of rich families?
    A: Well, I'd never work in a kitchen. She 
    ran away to Buenos Aires when she was 16 to become an actress. Good decision I say.
    F: After that, in 1944, Eva met a young army coloned named Juan Perόn. They were married in a year and she helped him
     run for the presidency in 1946. They won.
    A: Then Eva started her own foundation that built hundreds of schools and hospotals in Argentina
    . What a wonderful woman!
    F: Eva was also an advocate for the education of women. She also helped the poor workers of Argentina gain a voice and respect in the country that previously explotited them.
    A: So you are saying that I should marry a politician? Or become a supporter of women's rights?
    F: No, not exactly. I just think you could learn a lot from her. She was considered by many to be a politician, not an actress.
    A: There had never been a female politician in Argentina
     before, but people believed in her. Hmmm... maybe I could do something like that..
    F: Unfortunately her political career only lasted for 4 years. In 1950 she was 
    diagnosed with cancer and died in 1952.
    A: Evita's story can teach us all that it is possible to 
    defy fate.
    F: At that time a woman's place was in the home, not behind a desk.
    A: Maybe I could do some volunteer work? I would like to help people. What an inspiring story!
