Marie Curie is my hero because of her great qualities. She is brave, intelligent and determined. I really admire her personality and all her academic achievements. My hero, Marie Curie, was born in Poland on Nov. 7, 1867. Her early life became quite challenging, however, she was still able to accomplish many things. Mm Curie is an amazing person and took risks to do research, which improved our technology and our knowledge on radio activity.

Marie Curie is most well-known for discovering an element called Radium, and was also able to use it in many useful ways. Curie grew up in Poland, where women were not allowed to continue getting a good education. After many years of earning money as a governess, Mm Curie moved to France to get an education at Sorbonne. Marie was the first person to win two Nobel prizes. Even though her lab partner, Pierre Curie (her husband) died, and she was forced to raise children on her own, she still decided to do research. She didn’t let anything slow her down, and all her dedication and hard work really paid off.

Mm Curie was recognized for all her work and became very famous. Mm Curie was given awards such as two Noble prizes. Mm Curie also risked her life by working with radium (when you handle it too long there are side effects, and you can die). Mm Curie suffered from poor eye sight and hearing. These actions and accomplishments affect others because once she discovered Radium people were able to go further with her research. For example, they were able to use Radium to help give x-rays to the wounded during war. Even today people value and use many of Mm Curie’s discoveries.

These events influence my life because it inspires me to accomplish something important and make a discovery of something that will become very useful. She inspires me to have good grades, and also to never give up. Mm Curie influences me to accomplish goals in life, and to keep going no matter what life throws at me. Mm Curie's bravery and determination has really made an impact on my life. She gives me the courage to keep on going and never to give up because she has had many achievements, even during the toughest times.

Marie Curie helped us get research and discover things on radio activity, today, because of all her hard work and dedication, and I really appreciate and admire it. Marie Curie has always been an inspiration for me, and always will be. I really admire all her heroic qualities and what she has done to help us expand our knowledge on radioactivity today.
