I decided to talk about this categorie because this person helps people who have been severely burned. A hero is a person who, without super powers, does things to help other people that have problems. For example, the person i am going to talk about is Virginia Sendel. She is a very important journalist, she works in television, radio and newspaper. She is a very famous person. In her life she has suffered through a very sad and tragic episode. She lost her daughter and her two grandsons in a fire. She now only has one grandson.

This happend because their Christmas tree caught on fire and her daughter and grandsons could not get out. In the time the fire happened in Mexico there wasn't a special center for persons that are burnt, something she believes contributed to her grandsons' death. So she decided to make a Foundation that is called Michou Mau. She gave the foundation that name because her daughter’s name was Michou and her grandson’s name was Mau. She decided to make the foundation because she was angry because part of her family died of burns. This foundation is very helpful because they attend to people with burns. Michou Mau has help from the Shrines Hospital in the United States who receives donations of money and skin for people needing skin grafts.

I think this person is a real hero because she did everything she could do to save her grandsons and her daughter and now she is doing everything to save people so they can survive burn trauma and go on to lead happy, normal lives. This are the people the World could have in this life to help people and belive that we are important and we have to take care of us and our life.

I hope that, over time, more people will step forward like Viginia Sendel, who has done so much to help other people with problems in their lives.
