My hero: Mary Kingsley

My hero: Mary Kingsley

A hero is a person who cares about people and who has a kind heart for poor people. He/She is a person who wants to make the world a better place to live in. There are many qualities that can be used to refer back to a hero which are: a visionary, confident and intelligent. There are many actions that a person can do in order to consider him/her as a hero. A hero is a person who helps poor people and teaches uneducated people. He is also a person who fights for the rights of his/her people. These are just few examples of some of the actions done by a hero. In this essay I am going to write about my hero. Her name is "Mary Kingsley".

Mary Kingsley was born in London on 2^nd of October 1862. She didn't go to school but she read all the books in her father's library. She was a clever girl. When she grew up, she decided to become an explorer.  She went to many countries, to have more information about the things that she studied. She also wrote many books to spread her knowledge about the things that she saw while she was traveling by writing them down in books.

  

I choose this person as my hero because she was a woman who achieved her dreams to go and explore the world although she was young.

Note: The information I mentioned here about Mary are taken from grade 12 for post basic education which was published by the Ministry of Education in Oman first semester.
