Ever since "Wonder Woman" hit theaters on June 2, the superhero world has been going crazy for Gal Gadot, the actress who plays Wonder Woman herself. Not only has Gal starred in "Wonder Woman," she has also been in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," several "Fast & Furious" movies, and "Keeping Up With the Joneses." Gal has become a role model for girls and women all across the globe, and here are some reasons why.

1. She's a bad-ass

Before Gal started her career as a model and an actress, she was a soldier in the Israeli army for 2 years as a combat trainer. Her transformation to Wonder Woman, however, took 6 long months of preparation: 6 hours a day- 2 hours in the gym, 2 hours of fight choreography, and 2 hours of horseback riding. Oh, and she shot re-takes for Wonder Woman while 5 MONTHS PREGNANT.

2. She's beautiful on the inside...

This quote says a lot: “It was an honor for me to do this part. I’m all about strong female figures and I love Wonder Woman."

And this story says even more: A girl at a meet-and-greet with Gal walked up to her in tears because she was meeting her idol. Gal asked for the girl's name and then talked to her in order to calm her down.

3. ... and on the outside

At 5 feet 10 inches tall, Gal naturally has the height of a model, and she proved that she was the most beautiful woman in Israel when she was crowned Miss Israel in 2004. She then went on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant.

4. She's a super mom

In 2008, Gal married Yaron Versano, a successful real estate developer. Together they have two daughters, which makes them the most perfect family in Hollywood (in my opinion). She balances acting, modeling, and making public appearances while raising two beautiful girls.

5. She wants to better the world and the people in it

Gal has publicly expressed support for many different charities and causes such as: ocean sustainability, Malala Fund, mental health awareness, a focus on a healthy lifestyle, and females in STEM (creating apps, focusing on science and math careers, etc.).

6. She's very smart

Gal studied law and international relations, all while not feeling comfortable speaking fluently in English. Because of this, she used to think she was too smart and too serious to become an actress.

7. She's proud of her roots

"I definitely have a strong sense of my Jewish and Israeli identity. I did my two-year military service; I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course, my heritage is very important to me." -Gal Gadot


To sum it up: Gal Gadot is everything we want to be in life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
