Bella Thorn

My name is Bella Thorne, and this is the story of the time I found out I had dyslexia. I remember when I started first grade. Right away, it was awful because I couldn't read as well as the other kids. My brain mixed up letters like b and d and m and w. Dyslexia is different for EVERYONE who has it. For me, it just made it harder to read or write. I started working really hard on how to read better. My family helped me by making me read everything from menus, to cereal boxes, to road signs. Today, I read a year above my grade level. And I learned to face my problems, not run away from them. Dyslexia makes things hard for me but, not impossible. You just watched a TTI, on Disney Channel

Theranos

A defunct health care corporation invented by Elizabeth Holmes that was once considered revolutionary in conducting blood tests that required only a finger-prick but there was one big problem; it was too good to be true. It was a big sham. The technology was worthless (engineers with their PhD's couldn't get the blood testing equipment to work), the tests were highly inaccurate (one example; a patient complained about ringing in her ears, Theranos test said she was at risk of having a stroke, her doctor thought something seemed off, gave her a real blood test and it turned out the symptoms were just the result of insomnia!), investors were mislead despite a boatload of red flags (Theranos never demonstrated the technology and showed them the labs. Investors just liked the cool idea of a test requiring just a drop of blood), the company was tyrannical chaos and mistreated their employees pretty harshly, etc.

Holmes and her equally scummy partner/sugar daddy Sunny Balwani have been indicted for wire fraud. Just read the book "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" by John Carreryrou if you want to get the full details. A must-read.
I'm just glad I never got sick and relied on a Theranos blood test. I might have died!

Thora

Thora is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet. She is super empathetic and kind, and also the funniest person you will meet.

Dating her is a challenge for some, because she has her own ways of doing things. She isn’t too keen on a normal relationship, and doesn’t like going to fast. But if you aren’t lucky enough to date her, you will be treated with respect, loyalty, and kindness.
Also, she is a gorgeous girl. You will see her and be in awe of her beauty. Typically black hair, green eyes, but if she has a different appearance, it will definitely still be beautiful.
But she can be very distant, and non affectionate. Don’t take it personally though, because Thoras typically don’t like showing feelings.
“Who’s that gorgeous girl over there laughing her head off?”
“Oh, that’s Thora.”
