The Courage of Zach. By Abril Tzab Cuevas.

The courage of Zack

There was a little child, named Zack. He lived in the subway on the fourth

floor of a block of flats. Zack was unable to walk, but he had learned to  keep a positive attitude

 through his disability.

He wanted to attend school, but there was a problem to deal with!

 In his school there was NO                   

ramps for wheelchairs, so his parents had no

intention to send him to school.

Zack completely disagreed with them, he didn’t feel

this was a disadvantage so he decided to sign up to

online courses and showed his parents that he could

finish college and become a great psychologist.

He knew that he couldn’t walk again or his disability

would never disappear, but he didn’t feel

uncomfortable about it.

When he finally finished his career, it was unbelievable for his parents.

Irish Singers. James Vincent McMorrow. By Abril Tzab Cuevas

 James Vicent McMorrow

James Vicent McMorrow is a forty-year-old billion-streaming, platinum-selling singer-songwriter

from Dublin Ireland. 

A fact about him is that he was born in 1983 and his music is “Indie folk”!

He began his musical life when he was a teen! Initially a drummer, he was drawn to the harsh

sounds of Glassjaw. He mellowed some while he was at school, where he discovered the more

acoustic-oriented sounds of Sufjan Stevens. Then, he picked up the guitar at 19 and began

writing songs.

He decided to record an album, moving into a small house on

Ireland’s coastline and holding up his guitar, a keyboard, a microphone, a computer, and several other 

instruments. This become his first album “Early in the Morning” which was greeted

with very favorable reviews, a top chart sport, a Choice Music nomination, platinum sales, and 

appearances at Royal Festival Hall!

I admire him because of his successful musical life and his great

songs!
