Bindi continued to make TV appearances. At the age of 10, she won an Emmy Award for her outstanding performance in a children's series. She also appeared in a number of movies for children.
In 2015, Bindi competed on the popular American TV show Dancing With the Stars. Her high energy, precise footwork and beautiful smile wowed the audience. She and her partner dazzled the judges and won the competition!
More than just a celebrity or performer, Bindi works hard to help wildlife. She supports Wildlife Warriors, which protects animals that are in danger. In 2014, the Australian Geographic Society named her Young Conservationist of the Year.
In March of 2020, Bindi married American Chandler Powell. The two met in 2015 at the Australia Zoo, the huge wildlife reserve founded by Bindi's grandfather. Very appropriately, the wedding took place at the zoo. However, only family attended because of the coronavirus. Afterward Bindi wrote, "Right now we're encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history."

Write your own story 鼓勵人們要努力活出燦爛的人生
Hello, friends. Welcome to Info Cloud. I'd like to start off today's lesson by asking Rex an interesting question. Have you ever been told to write your own story?
Yeah, but not from another person. I told myself all the time to write my own story as I was growing up.
Really? Why is that?
Well, my father was a very successful businessman. I was always compared with my dad growing up. But I did not want to follow my dad's footsteps. I decided to become a professional singer instead.
I'm glad you made that decision. When someone writes their own story, it means that they are not trying to be someone else or imitate another's lifestyle. Instead, they are trying to live out a life that's unique, not following the path that others have walked on.
Since every person is different, we're all living an unique life whether we know it or not. When someone says, "Write your own story," it serves as an encouragement for you to work hard and live your life to the fullest.
每個人的生命故事都不太一樣，今天要分享一句相當勵志的流行用語 Write your own story 寫下你專屬的人生故事，意思就是要鼓勵人們不要盲目地跟從別人的腳步，要走出一條屬於自己的人生道路。例如，很多人活在家人的期待中，或是企圖去模仿自己很崇拜的人，這個時候很可能會聽到有人說: Write your own story，其實每個人的生活一定會不一樣，這句話的目的是在鼓勵人們要努力活出燦爛的人生，讓自己的潛能盡量發揮出來。
