My hero is Stephen the Great. He ruled Modova between 1457-1504 and won European recognition for his long resistance to the Ottoman Empire. Never before was Moldova so expanded and so highly respected as it was during Stephen the Great's rule.

"A remarkable army commander and politician, he sought to strengthen princely authority, to organize and bring about prosperity for Moldova and to fight for its independence against foreign invasions."

"As the legend has it, he ruled for forty-seven years, led forty-seven battles, mainly against the Turks; he built, rebuilt or patronized about the same number of fortresses, churches and monasteries."

Stephen the Great is a perfect example for everyone. He showed his best all time he was in life and now no one forgot about him. I want to be as brave as him, so I have to work on myself.
