Ugly Betty is a comedy-drama tv series (of course since everything that I will talk about this week is about tv series I watch/watched) about a girl named Betty who despite her 'ugly' look managed to succeed for herself and for her family. The role Betty is played by America Ferrera, who according to Time magazine is one of the 100 most influential in the world because she redefined the world beautiful. I forget what issue it was written. Anyway, I stopped watching Ugly Betty after a few episodes in Season 2 because I'm not liking the fact that Betty and Daniel won't end up together. Besides that, I found the succeeding episodes boring. I am a fan of love sequels okay and it is so sad that the main character wouldn't end up with the most handsome guy in the story.

Moving on, the character of Betty serves as an inspiration to the young ones who are starting fresh. Betty gives hope in the sense that she proves to us that you can be anyone you want to be given that you uphold still your values. Betty was able to get in her dream job, to work in Mode Magazine. Though her looks hinder her from being accepted, she proved that her skills are enough for her to get the job. Betty though has her own issues in terms of love life and character actualization but she managed to put her family first. She takes care of her dad, her sister and her nephew. I salute Betty for her amazing and inspiring character and Amanda Ferrera for taking the role that made her ugly even though in real life she is pretty.
