On the afternoon of September 17, 1925, Frida and her friend Alex was involved in a severe Bus vs. Streetcar crash, and Frida was damaged very severely. A metal rod had made a very deep abdominal wound, and her third and fourth lumber vertebrae were fractured. Frida had received many more wounds too, and she ended up trapped in a body cast for months.
While Frida was confined to her bed her mother brought her a small lap easel and Frida started paint. She had studied art before, at the National Preparatory School where she had met Diego Rivera when he was painting the Creation mural but Frida had never worked on paintings before. Over her bed, Frida had a mirror so she could see herself, and this was the beginning of her focus on self portraits.

No, I do not plan to work for a newspaper. This text has nothing to do with my life in any way. This text is purely for you (the translators) here who I am quite positive need the practice. I am sure the practice is needed as I have been reading this forum and have already begun to understand that even those of you who pride yourselves on your English, could really use some work in the area of grammar.
