Thomas Edison

by Aidan from Cherry Hill


My hero is Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is my hero because he invented the light bulb, phonograph, and the motion picture camera. He was born in Ohio, grew up as a child in Michigan, but later moved to New Jersey. My hero was born on February 11, 1847 and died October 18, 1931. This person is important to me because he invented the light bulb which I use everyday.
