Princess Diana

A hero for me is someone that gives her life for saving people, is someone that gives all for peace, someone that fight for human rights.

That's why I choose Princess Diana Spencer, a women that helped poor people and now she is an angel for me and many people. English princess, former wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Born July 1 1961 in England. Diana went to the West Health boarding school in for a nursery school teacher's aide. Then she met the Prince of Wales and, Lady Diana become an object of fixation for the national media, and she soon cultivated a charming smile for the cameras that earned her nickname ''Shy Di''. In February 1981, Charles proposed to Diana and they appeared together in public for the first time at the official engagement announcement. They were married on July 29 1981 and had two sons, William and Harry.

Diana Spencer is my hero because she had a big heart and she helped many people who were suffering. She didn't care only about her wealth , she cared for those who were really suffering, she donated money for poor people to buy them medicines, she always visited shelters and hospitals and sometimes she took with her her two sons, William and Harry. She wanted to show them that the world was not perfect and that they have to help too. She raised money to the charities such as the cancer foundation and for aids. She gave 5.7 millions to the cancer and AIDS. And on 1977 she won the Nobel Peace Prize.

I remember that when I was a child I always looked at Diana as a hero. I always admired her, but one day I turned on tv and I watched the terrible news: Diana died in a car crash. Her funeral was on Sept 6 1997 and many people were there. Everyone in the world was sad on that day. Princess Diana was the greatest woman not only for England for most of the world. I was only 5 years old and I didn't understand why she died but I remember I was really sad, and since that day Princess Diana Spencer is my hero.
