   My My Hero Report is on George Soros; George Soros is a wealthy chairman of Soros Fund Management, and a well-known political book author, also featured on many morning and evening news shows, and lastly the owner of a charity named Open Foundation Society. I am very proud to do George Soros as my hero. He has changed the shape of our planet's economy for the better and has also saved thousands of lives at the same time.


George Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary on the 12th of August 1930. George Soros lived through a lot. Including the biggest war the world ever knew World War 2. George Soros's parents had to become Nazis because of the Nazis. George Soros's parents left the country without him in a date that's not known. When he was 14 an Agriculture Society of Hungary official became his new father.

He lived with him because he had no family anymore. George Soros though still remembers his parents though especially his father who expressed Judaism to its fullest without getting killed. To me this is a very dark time that was still going to get darker. When he was 14 the siege of Budapest started, it ripped and tore away at Budapest George Soros had to bear with hunger, drought, and worst of all warfare. Image having your 15th birthday with bombs and bullets surrounding you, the noise unbearable and no parents. This is the worst point in George Soros's life - it gets better though.

George Soros at one point had to hide from the Nazis. He quotes, "I had to run till I found a good enough hole to hide in. I could hear them firing at random people that were in the city at the time." Wow, when I first read the date he was born I knew he went through a lot but this is some serious rated R level stuff.

George Soros is currently 81 and still alive, he to me is a person who basically survived a battle that changed Budapest forever. I think that George Soros is a person who deserves to be a hero. A hero of politics, a hero of war, and a HERO that I look up to.
