speaker In a way, I admire Margaret Thatcher. She was the first female prime minister in England. She was a very powerful, powerful woman. She broke any normal social norms associated with politics and the female gender. So, I admire her for breaking through that.
Tim / United States
speaker A historical person I admire is a famous American author called Mark Twain. He has written a lot of fiction and is very well known for a book called "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." I think he had a very unique perspective on the world around him, and he was a very good critique of society that allowed people to think what they were doing.
Paul / England
speaker A historical person I admire is Nelson Mandela, who, despite the exteme and intense hardship he went through, he remained dedicated to his beliefs and his cause, and he has become a very important leader, a spiritual leader, for the whole African continent.
Katia / Mexico
speaker One historical person that I admire and I can think of right now is Ernestto Guevarra, Che Guevarra as people know him. He was from Argentina, a doctor that traveled throughout Latin America to see how people lived, and he ended up in Cuba, helping Fidel Castro to run or start the revolution. He had, I believe, very good ideals, very good convictions of what Latin America should be. So, I think that's a very good historical person that I admire.
Warren / Canada
speaker I think someone who I admire historically would be Jimmy Hendrix. I think he revolutionized rock music, or music in general, and many different styles of playing the guitar.
Lindsay / United States
speaker I admire Martin Luther King. I think that he had a lot of strength and a lot of courage and was able to pull off the civil rights movement because he was a very powerful leader and people really looked at him to lead by example.
