Multi-talented Alicia Keys released her first album, Songs in A Minor, in 2001. The success of the first single Fallin helped rocket Keys to stardom. In 2003 she released her second album called "The Diary of Alicia Keys".

The reason why I think Alicia Augello Cook (Key) is my hero because she inspired me to move on when problems come my way and she believes that education is important in life. She teaches kids that when if you believe in yourself you can go forward in life and work hard too. That's why she inspired me.
