In Honor of J.K. Rowling, I did research about this hero in “Biography Today.” I chose J.K. Rowling because I like her books. After the research, I was glad I did because I learned so much about her.

Who knew such a normal beginning would give the world such a hero? J.K. Rowling was born on July 31, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury. Her parents are Peter and Anne Rowling.

The foundation of heroism is education. She has been to an Elementary school, Wyedean comprehensive school, and the University of Exeter.

Hard work contributes to heroism. Her longest job was as a secretary with the International Human Rights Organization.
