Emma Watson, who was born in Paris, France in 1990, is a hero in my eye. Some people are just attracted by her outstanding appearance, perfect acting in Harry Potter, or her identity as an international actress. But to me, the reason why I deeply like Emma Watson is her unique personal trait. Her parents always encourage her to do what she wants to do instead of what everyone considers women should do. Thanks to her sensible parents, Emma has tried to face different challenges which make her different from other people.

Being known as an actress, Emma was considered too bossy by peers because of her brave and independent character when she was little. Although some children envied her fame, she didn't feel frustrated, and made her life more colorful instead of concealing herself. In 2014, she even delivered an amazing speech in UN and became UN Women global goodwill ambassador. In that speech, her convincing words and confident move deeply attracted me. Not until I realized Emma did I know that a person could be so beautiful because of her inner passion rather than her face. I believe that Emma's success is built on not only her bravery but also many aspects, and I hope that I can be a warm-hearted and confident person like my hero!
