I read about Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). he suffered with polio in 1921. However, he didn't let his disease stop him or slow him down. He became a champion for polio research. In 1955, his research led to a vaccine after he passed away. :(

A challenge I have read about that inspired me was, MLK since he never gave up on making his dream a reality, which was to end segregation and to have equal rights for all.

I've read about a man who runs a food stall. In the food stall, he always sets the price really low and affordable so kids coming home from school can have something to eat. Even though he underpays himself, he's still very happy. This made me learn that you can just be kind for others' sake without too much pay. 🦭

A kind of challenge I have read about that has inspired me to act or think a new way is Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is because in 1921 he was diagnosed with polio. He became paralyzed and lived for many years confined to a wheelchair. He never let this slow him down and he became a champion of polio research.

Another challenge I've read about that inspired me is mental health but most importantly the outcome of overcoming those struggles. And the book that I first read about these struggles is the book "No Longer human"

A challenge I've read or heard about someone faced is Alexander Hamilton's experience. His father left and his mother died, so he had to grow up alone and looked down on, but despite those challenges, he went on to be a powerful ally against the British and made himself a popular figure in history.

I've read about Wilma and how she was determined to be able to walk/run and this has helped me think about everything I have and to be thankful. It has inspired me to never give up.

A challenge I have read about that has inspired me to act in a new way is Erik Weihenmayer. He never gave up and he was determined that he could do anything. I really like how he and his team reached the top of North America it really inspired me.

I've read about a girl, Adeline, who had never loved and supported parents, but that never stopped her from doing the things she wanted. She also wrote a book to talk about her experience.

I read about Wilma is had to walk before she could run because she had a illnesses. She lost her left leg because of polio and paralysis. Doctors had little hope of walking again. That did not let her stop from accomplishing her goal to be the fastest women in the world.
