MIRIAM VILLAMIL, COROZAL'S LEADING FEMALE SPORTS CHAMPION PART I

SHE LIVES IN THE TOWN OF COROZAL IN THE NORTH OF BELIZE! I TAUGHT HER AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND SHE WAS OUR STAR FOOTBALL PLAYER ON SPORTS NIGHT! SHE WAS ALSO VERY INTELLIGENT AND A PERSON WE GET TO ADMIRE FOR THEIR STRUGGLE WITH WHAT LIFE THROWS AT THEM!

IN THIS POST ALL I AM GOING TO DO IS SHOW SOME PICTURES SHE SENT ME AND LET YOU HEAR WHAT I THINK OF HER. IN PART TWO YOU WILL HEAR A BIT OF HER LIFE STORY WRITTEN FOR THE POST BY HER AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAY SHE IS OUR FEATURED BELIZEAN FEMALE THIS WEEK!

MIR, AS I FONDLY CALL HER, IS A BUBBLY YOUNG WOMAN. WHEN I FIRST MET HER SHE WAS IN HER TEENS AND IN HIGH SCHOOL. SHE WAS ALWAYS LAUGHING AND ALWAYS MAKING OTHERS LAUGH. SHE WAS NO ORDINARY GIRL OF HER AGE. SHE WAS GOING THROUGH TROUBLING TIMES AND A LOSS THAT SHE CARRIED IN HER HEART WOULD MAKE HER TURN HER PAIN INTO SOMETHING JUST A LITTLE BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF. SPORTS!!!! WE CAN THANK GOD THAT SHE CHOSE THIS TO BE HER HEALING PAD BECAUSE IN THIS WORLD WE SEE SO MANY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TURN TO CRIMES WHEN THEY ARE HURT OR LOOSE A LOVING PARENT.

MIRIAM DID REALLY GOOD IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF HERS DID NOT CONTINUE HER EDUCATION AT THAT TIME. SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO THINK THAT GOOD PEOPLE GET WALKED OVER. SHE GOT WALKED OVER. I WAS DIRECTOR OF CCC ACE AT THAT TIME AND SHE WAS ON A GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY DID NOT KEEP THEIR PROMISE AND WHEN THEY LOST THE NEXT ELECTIONS THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATION WILLING TO TAKE OVER THE PLEDGE THAT HAD BEEN MADE TO HER. THAT BILL STILL STANDS UNPAID AT CCC TODAY. IT IS A SHAME AND A DISGRACE TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM WHEN PROMISES ARE BROKEN HOWEVER, WE KNOW IT IS NOT UNHEARD OF! I DID NOT START THIS BLOG WITH THE IDEA OF AIRING THIS DIRTY LAUNDRY BUT AS I WRITE IT BECAME THE WORDS ON ON COMPUTER. I CANNOT JUST WALK WAY FROM IT EVEN IF I AM THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY NOW. I AM GOING TO TRY MY BEST TO SEEK ASSISTANCE BECAUSE WITHOUT PAYING THIS BILL, SHE CANNOT GET HER DIPLOMA NOR TRANSCRIPTS AND HENCE CANNOT PURSUIT HER CAREER IN ANY WAY. MAYBE YOU WILL READ THIS AND DECIDE YOU WANT TO HELP. ALL MONIES SHOULD BE SENT TO THE COROZAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND MUST BE STATED TO GO TO THE ACCOUNT OF MIRIAM VILLAMIL. GOD CHOSE THIS MOMENT FOR ME TO WRITE THIS AND I AM COUNTING ON YOU TO GIVE A LITTLE TO HELP THIS YOUNG WOMAN MOVE ON IN LIFE.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT BELIZE DOES NOT PAY THEIR ATHLETES MUCH WHEN THEY PLAY IN GAMES AT HOME OR ABOARD.
