 Imagine having your mother die when you are only a kid, and having to be responsible for your family's education and care at such a young age. Would you be able to handle all the responsibility and depression when you are so young? Elizabeth had a tough life with lots of pressure and many struggles. Elizabeth was helpful to others, she didn’t care who stood in her way, she only wanted to do what was right. Even with all her obstacles and mistakes she managed to get through them and overcome them like the amazing hero we know she is. Elizabeth was always very concerned about others. She wanted to help anyone she could in the kindest most caring way. Elizabeth Fry was actually very shy though.

Elizabeth started wanting to help others when she took on lots of responsibility. When she's not helping others, she feels like she's not doing enough with her life. 

Elizabeth Fry had many obstacles and struggles, but managed to get through them with lots of hard work and effort. Elizabeth's mother died when Elizabeth was only 12 years old! This put a lot of responsibility on Elizabeth's shoulders. Elizabeth also had to work in prison, dealing with lots of hard work and labor, along with financial difficulties in the bank. She was responsible for her younger sibling's education and care, while there were many worries when her husband went bankrupt! 

Elizabeth Fry was a very caring concerned person, helping everyone and anyone she could. She accompanied the sick and poor often, trying her best to help them work through their rough life. Elizabeth ensured people that the kids were vaccinated. She even brought the children clothing and started a soup kitchen open to anyone during cold winters. 

Elizabeth Fry was a very shy person, with many fears, but still had many heroic virtues such as hope, love, a vision, and a bright personality. Even though Elizabeth had to work in prison she still wanted to help the sick and poor. All she wanted was to improve the lives of others. Even when times were rough she still had hope. She was hoping for her mother, and that her mother wouldn’t pass away. Elizabeth loved many people and even had a bright personality on sad days. She was optimistic and hoped for the best in people/things. 

Elizabeth Fry had a huge impact on the world. She inspired people everywhere to help people who truly need it. This is true kindness, she is able to help others in need even when no one is making her and she chose to be kind. This is why she is a true hero for helping the sick and poor, and giving food and clothing to those in need. Make sure to remember the girl who turned our world into a better place, and inspired everyone around us.
