What do you admire (look up to) in that person? What is it that makes us appreciate some heroes rather than others? Do you think your heroes are universal (heroes to everyone)? Why / why not? How do our thoughts about who we admire affect how we act and behave? Include a picture of your hero If you are stuck think of people that have inspired you, have they brought about change, have they conquered something to make them inspirational, have they overcome hardship.

My Personal Hero - Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall is one of my heros.

Jane Goodall is a world famous primatologist. She is strong, committed, caring, and dedicated to helping others. She has worked tirelessly her whole life to study and protect chimpanzees. She is turning 80 next month and still works to educate others. She champions hope, peace and wants to alleviate poverty. She is an expert in chimpanzees, but cares for all the creatures on the planet

She is a risk-taker, moving to Africa as a young girl with no experience. She has overcome many obstacles and is a problem solver. She shares her ideas and knowledge with others and is a communicator.

A quote from Jane Goodall ….

" My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature."

I believe some heroes are universal but many are not. I believe people admire people for a variety of reasons. I admire people who are strong, committed, caring, risk takers and communicators. As I stated earlier Jane Goodall exhibits all of these characteristics.

Each day I try to show these behaviours also. I think before I speak and try to treat everyone with kindness and respect.
