Gloria Estefan The End

1. What event does Gloria describe as her most difficult time? Why was it difficult? Look on page 26. When she was sent home from the hospital, she said" that she couldn't do anything and couldn't walk alone." She was in a wheelchair.



2. How many weeks after Gloria got out of the hospital passed before she started to work on her music again? Was her music a source of comfort? It was a few weeks after the accident. Her new songs were painful but the songs she wrote for her son would heal. The songs were comfort but not the new ones.

3. When did Gloria and the Miami Sound Machine begin to play their music again? In March of 1991.

4. How does Gloria Estefan describe herself on the last page (page 29)? She's an example of a Cuban American who's different from her mother and others of that generation.

5. Reflect: Have you ever had to overcome something in your life that you did not think you could? What tools and skills did you use in order to overcome this ordeal? Front flip in the pool. I was using speed and time.
