My hero is Audrey Hepburn. When she was young her parents got divorced, that time was tough for her. Her mom decided to send her off to a boarding school in England. She was sent off to a boarding school when her parents were getting divorced. After her parents got divorced, she and her mom moved to Holland where they thought they would be safe from the Nazis. Then Nazis could hurt them so they thought it would be a good idea to move. It turns out soon after they moved there, the Nazis came. They were staying as safe as they could, but it was still dangerous outside. I consider Audrey Hepburn to be a hero because she always put others before herself. Another reason I consider Audrey Hepburn to be a hero is she was brave. One more main reason I consider Audrey Hepburn to be a hero is that she wanted to help all kinds of people. She wouldn't want to just help one specific religion, or race, or country...she wanted to help everyone.

Audrey Hepburn is my hero because she puts others before herself. Audrey Hepburn was involved with UNICEF. UNICEF's full name is United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. Its short name is United Nations Children's Fund. Audrey Hepburn was the co-founder of UNICEF. She used her fame to help others. I like that she used her fame to help other people because often famous people use their fame for themselves. She also used her fame to speak in front of other people so that they would listen to her. Audrey Hepburn also wanted to help the poorest countries the most. She wanted to help everyone she could.

Audrey Hepburn is my hero because she is brave. She was brave because her mom sent her to a boarding school in England away from where her mom and dad were living. After many different boarding schools and years, she finally moved back with her mother. By then her mother and her father were divorced so her mother and her moved to Holland. Shortly after they moved, they thought they would be safe and sound, but the Nazis came. At that time they were living in dangerous conditions. One more reason I think Audrey Hepburn is brave is because she went to poor countries with very limited water supplies and food. Putting herself in danger because she could get sick and dehydrated, I think, is very brave. Even though she could get sick and get dehydrated, she still wanted to help. This is why I think Audrey Hepburn is brave.

Audrey Hepburn is my hero because she wanted to help all kinds of people. Audrey Hepburn helped black and white people, all religions, and she was passionate about it. She didn't care if they were religious or not religious, she didn't care if they were black or white, she just wanted to help them. Whenever she saw someone that needed help she helped them. Audrey Hepburn helped places like Ethiopia, Turkey, South America, Central America, Sudan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Somalia. Just because she helped them does not mean that she went there, she could of donated money or supplies there. She did go to all of these places, but she did donate too. Audrey Hepburn also helped the poorest nations. The poorest nations are the nations she wanted to help the most. These are some ways Audrey Hepburn helped all kinds of people.

Audrey Hepburn used her fame and popularity to help others. I think this was a very smart idea because almost everyone wants to hear what a famous person says. Audrey Hepburn was brave during tough times. I like that she was brave because if you are scared of something, that would never help you live a happy life. She also helped poor areas, and all kinds of people. I think that this is like putting others before herself because she helps other people before herself. Adults, kids, black people, white people, and all religions. I admire that she liked helping all kinds of people because everyone needs help at some point in their life. Audrey Hepburn always wanted to help everyone, she was brave, and she put others before herself.
