1879. When Alberts grandmother saw him for the first time she is said to have cried continuously: "Much too thick! Much

too thick!" But despite all fear the development of young Albert was a normal one. In November 1881 Alberts sister Maria

was born.

Childhood: The Einstein family went to Munich where Albert first attended elementary school and subsequently

Luitpold grammar school. He was an "average" pupil but already very early interested in science and mathematics. He

did not like lessons in grammar school as they were held with strict discipline and as he was forced to learn. Whenhe turned 15 he left school without any degree and followed his family to Milan. To make up for the missed degree

he attended school in Aarau (Switzerland) from 1895 to 1896 when he successfully took his A-levels and began to

study in Zurich. His ambition was to obtain the diploma of a subject teacher for mathematics and physics. He

successfully finished his studies in July 1900.

Why is he famous? In 1905 he published important scientific works. One was his ground breaking theory of relativity.

Another was the famous formula of the world :

Einsteins famous formula:

Why he/she is my hero? Because he was hard working and dedicated. He never gave up although he did bad at school. He

worked very hard to make a breakthrough in Science and today people are still listening to him and using his work to make

medicine.

My Hero

By: Ahi Nusipepa

Name: NKOSI JOHNSON

Age:He was born Xolani Nkosi in a township east of Johannesburg. He was born on 4 February 1989 with HIV and

was the longest surviving child born with the virus in the country. His mother has since died of Aids, and he was

adopted when he was two by a foster mother, Gail Johnson. He was 15 when he died of HIV Aids.

Appearance: "Look at him," Johnson told a local newspaper. "Half the size of bloody nothing and still fighting." He

was a black boy that was very thin and sick. He was weak and on medication.

Nkosis Life?In the absence of money for drugs, Nkosi had survived on a healthy diet, vitamin supplements and

minimising the stress of being HIV positive. Ms Johnson attempted to give him a purpose by turning him into a

spokesman for Aids awareness at a time when the country's infected population was silenced by the suffocatin

g

stigma of fear and prejudice. But for Nkosi, who had seen his real mother die of Aids, the frightening inevitability

of his own impending death was never far away.

Hopes: To change the way people think of Aids and to help people who suffer from this disease.

Why he/she is my hero!! He made a speech for the world to listen to. I hate having AIDS because I get very sick

and I get very sad when I think of all the other children and babies that are sick with AIDS. I just wish that thegovernment can start giving AZT to pregnant HIV mothers to help stop the virus being passed on to their babies.

Babies are dying very quickly. I know one little abandoned baby who came to stay with us and his name was Micky.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't eat and he was so sick and Mommy Gail had to phone welfare to have him admitted

to a hospital [where] he died. But he was such a cute little baby. I think the government must start doing it because

I don't want babies to die. HE SHOWED COURAGE, DETERMINATION, SELF CONTROL AND DEDICATION

My Hero

By: Emma Woods

Name: Amelia Earhart

Who was Amelia Earhart? She was a

Woman Aviation Pioneer who was born in 1897, and died in 1937.

Family? Childhood was not happy for the two bright sisters. Their father was an alcoholic and lost jobs often. The

family travelled a great deal. When she died she

left a husband, sister, mother, a niece, a nephew, and many

friends.

Why was se famouse? Amelia wanted to attend college after finishing school. But, she met some World War I (1914

- 1918) veterans and decided to study nursing, instead.

During the war Amelia worked as a military nurse in Canada and later she became a social worker and taught English

to immigrant children. Besides work, Amelia had one hobby. She enjoyed watching airplane stunt shows, which were

popular in the 1920s. Then one day she took a 10-minute plane ride and knew what her vocation would be - she

would learn to fly. Amelia did several odd jobs and with the help of her mother, she put together the fee - $1,000.

In those days, $1000 was an extremely large amount of money. After 10 hours of instruction and several crashes,

Amelia was ready to fly. She made her first solo flight in 1921. The flight went well. By the next year, Amelia had

saved enough money to buy her own plane.

Till 1928, flying was only her hobby. This changed when Amelia received acall from Captain Hilton H Railey. He asked her to join pilots Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon on a flight from the

United States to England. Though Amelia was just a passenger, she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic.

The plane they flew in was 'The Friendship' and the trip was made on June 17-18, 1928. A publisher named George

Putnam wrote an article on the flight and in 1931, Amelia married him.

Why she is my hero? Because she lived her dream and became the first women to fly over the Atlantic Ocean.
