The 30 years- old famous belly dancer Colombian- Lebanese singer, Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, is going back to school to continue to study of the History of Western Civilization. She is now attending UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) under the voluntary purpose to "learn."
How did UCLA view her college application?
According to her "prestigious" professor Robert Cleve, he had no idea that she was a Grammy Award- winning singer. He also claimed that she acted just like an ordinary student, nothing flashy hinting that she's famous and should be treated as a royalty.
Today's stars are always off doing outrageous things. Some are out to gain publicity, but some are genuine toward their actions. If Shakira is serious about her study in UCLA then major props for her. But if she did for the publicity (it has been awhile that the media had anything on her), then well, she's not doing a bad job at it either. It's not everyday you see a star going out of their ways just to get educated. That should be the headlines for every magazine and newspaper, "Famous singer strive for school?!" Every school teacher would be ecstatic.
But if Shakira is really serious about her study, then she is my hero. Despite of what's going on with the other troubled stars, this one actually has a brain.
