I think Emma Watson should be person of the year for my opinion. Many people may or may not know her, she is a very confident and generous woman.

The person I chose for "Person of the Year" is Sybil Ludington.Sybil is a girl in the revolutionary war. The British were planning to attack. So Sybil got onto her horse and rode for fourty miles. Although it was very hard and scary, Sybil never gave up. Although Sybil Ludington did all the work, Paul Revere got the credit which I don't think is fair. There is not much known about Sybil because the only record of her got destroyed by her grandson.

I chose Sybil Ludington because she is very inspiring and never gives up. An example of Sybil never giving up is when she was on her midnight ride, it was very tiring and hard but she never gave up and went home.

One famous quote from Sybil Ludington is "Let me. I can ride as well as any man."In the time period she was born in men were considered stronger that women.

Abraham Lincoln

The person of the year I chose was Abraham Lincoln. During his childhood, Abraham was very passionate and aware. Their mother was sick so she couldn't help with farming, and that was a great loss for Abraham and his father. Abraham was also a very energetic person. When he was eight, he could cut down wood as well as a well grown man. Everyone called Abraham honest Abe after this story took place. Abraham used to be a store clerk. When Abraham accedentily took six cents more from the costumer, he confessed and told the visitor that he took six more cents from the person. Abraham Lincoln also hated slavery. The United States had an argument about slavery. The southern confederate states of America wanted slavery but the north didn't want slavery, they wanted to end slavery. After the civil war ended, slavery ended. A man named John Wikes Booth assasinated Abraham Lincoln on April 15, 1865. But we still honor him to be the greatest president in the world.

The only thing that matters is how hard you try to get to the top!

Jeremy Clarkson

My "Person of the Year" is a British car enthusiast and also a funny presenter in The Grand Tour called Jeremy Clarkson . He was fired from the BBC tv show Top Gear in 2015, but he was offered a multimillion dollar deal from Amazon to work on "The Grand Tour". He has starred in many car tv shows and was even a video game journalist. His co-presenters from Top Gear, Richard Hammond and James May, were also allowed to join the new TV show on Amazon Prime. Clarkson has a good sense of humor, as he does pranks like putting meat in James May's car engine, so his car would smell tasty to predators and other hungry animals. He also gives his co-presenters nicknames like Captain Slow (James May), and Hamster (Richard Hammond). Also, Clarkson created car rugby where you play rugby with your car. He is also determined, as he keeps trying to fix his car which is falling apart instead of using the backup car in a Top Gear Special In Top Gear, before he was fired, the Guinness World Rdeclared that Top Gear was the most watched and therefore most popular tv show in the world. He also was the first person to drive to the North Pole. Clarkson is ambitious, trying to create a hybrid from scratch, and making a hover van. Once, Clarkson built a working ferry from planks of wood, string, and oil barrels in Africa. In one episode, he modified a Toyota Hilux to be an amphibious vehicle. Amazingly, he managed to use that car to cross the English Channel. Jeremy Clarkson has kept millions of car enthusiasts updated on sports cars, affordable hatchbacks, and capable off-roaders. Not only does he test new cars, but he shows which used cars some one can buy for a low amount of money. Clarkson has made researching cars fun and exciting. He is also very brave, having drove through a mob in Tierra del Fuego that would terrify the average person. Rocks flew at the film crew and Jeremy in their police guarded convoy. Clarkson has also got many awards in his life.He was chosen as the 10th best person in the car magazine, Motor Trend for 2016 and 49th best person in 2011. These excellent reasons show why I nominate him for "Person of the Year. Car enthusiasts around the world naturally think of hilarious when thinking about Jeremy Clarkson. Here are two hilarious quotes that Clarkson commonly says on television.

"Speed and Power!- Jeremy Clarkson
"How hard can it be?"- Jeremy Clarkson

Franklin D. Roosevelt, or also known a FDR, was the 32nd American president. A man of kind words, he lead the country of America through many hardships, such as The Great Depression, and World War II.

"It is common sense to take a meathod and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something."

He showed us how to stay strong and stay hopeful in times that will make us feel as if all hope was lost. Although in order to not have people lose faith, he has hidden his wheelchair from T.V, but his kind and soft words on the radio had kept people from letting go in the Great Depression.

"The fork in the road happens over a hundred times a day, and it's the choices you will make that will determine the shape of your life". This quote was written by one of the most persistent, benevolent, established person ever. According to TheGuardian.com she it states from "homeless to Harvard". She is one of the most perpetual person I know because about 2,000 kids a year, and to be homeless then go to one of the best schools in the world is bewildering. Also, she makes beautiful speeches, but the most amazing quotes from her speeches is when she said this "When you go back to your environment an you deal with employees....do you inspire people are you make the feel fear? Do you make them feel confident or incompetent? I think that distinction really marks the leader".This is why I think Liz Murray should be the person of the
Year.
